Last night I finished this pair of lovelies. The pattern is quite busy, so I went ahead and used a mostly plain yarn. It's Knitpicks Stroll tweed. The pattern is The Boyfriend Socks by Alice Bell. I didn't modify them much. I used a Turkish Cast On instead of the one the pattern called for, and I changed the cuff to a 2x2 rib that followed the pattern of the sock all the way up.
I love, love LOVE these socks and I will definitely be making these again. Really, I love them. A lot.
And, the cranberry, cinnamon, pecan caramel corn, well, yum.
I've cast on for the Kilkenny Cable Shawl which is our local New Years Cast on. Pics soon! Like who knows, maybe tomorrow even!
Oh and I'm trying to finish up some mystery fiber I'm spinning. I believe it's wool and mohair, and I'm working on thicker singles. I should have it all spun up sometime today!
Purty socks! Me likey.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your posts and think that I might be in a car heading East with you next Fall, I know that everything will be okay.

I love that yarn. I made a couple pairs of socks for my mother in law and it was so comfortable she said.
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me - I think I have more of that in the stash!
Excellent socks. Love the colour as well as design.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! I've always wanted to knit that pattern...
