It feels good to actually complete something for a change, at the beginning of October I started four new projects these socks being one of them, it looks like I will be working on the other three for quite some time.
I have discovered that I really enjoy making socks, this will be my third proper pair, I can't get over just how perfect they look and they fit perfectly too, but don't be fooled they are far from perfect, I still make so many mistakes but who cares as long as they fit and look the part that's all that matters right?
I made these with a long circular needle using the magic loop method and used the yarn I bought at Yarndale Artesana linen/silk/wool Dk
I'm not sure if this yarn is really good for sock making because it doesn't have much stretch but they feel comfortable and are lovely and soft.
I was scared that I wouldn't have quite enough to finish the toes but I had just enough with a tiny bit to spare.
I used Christine's Basic 6 ply Boot Socks pattern which can be found here
Sorry I know picture overload :)
Have a great week!

I love how the colour changes with this yarn depending on the lighting these two pictures were taken in my kitchen and they look much brighter than the one's I took above in the sunshine.
Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours Linda. Socks are very addictive. I've now made a number of pairs but I still feel I have a lot to learn. Also there's so much choice of sock yarn, it's all so irresistible. Have a good week.
