I finally have a photographed finished object to share! I finished knitting these socks waaay back on September 10th and it took me almost a month just to wash them and snap a picture. That timeframe might tell you how busy we've been with the Mr. starting a new job and Little A starting kindergarten. Very!
Pattern: Simple Skyp Socks by Adrienne Ku
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in December Ribbon Candy gifted to me by my friend, Jeanne
Needles: US #1 (2.25mm) Hiya Hiya Sharps
Mods: None! Actually, the pattern calls for sport weight yarn but I just subbed in sock yarn and chose a stitch count (64) that I knew would fit. The leg is five inches long instead of my usual six inches. This pattern makes for great commute knitting since the pattern is easy to memorize and there's very little counting involved in the stitch pattern.
I love these socks! That yarn is rather fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think they're a little fantastically crazy but I'm much more of a semi-solid gal.
DeleteThe socks look fantastic, and you can never have too many hand knit socks :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree! I even wear socks with my tights and boots to keep my feet extra toasty in the winter.
