Shiver of Shark Socks

I knit these socks using a kit from Jimmy Beans Wool.  The pattern is Shiver of Sharks Socks by Laura Cunit.  The yarn is  Valkyrie Fibers Matte Sock in colorways Shallow Waters and Open Ocean.  I had to reknit the bind off twice as it was too tight using Icelandic bind off suggested in the pattern.  I ended up Jenny's magic bind off.  I still don't feel super comfortable knitting socks but they turned out pretty well.
