Sole Mates

   I am currently working on two gorgeous pairs of socks. I'm alternating between them so I don't get bored of staring at the same yarn, and end up with Second Sock Syndrome. Here are the first of each pair!


The striped sock was made with Deborah Norville Serenity Sock Weight in Harlequin, and the red is KnitPicks Stroll Tonal in Gypsy. For needles I used Clover Circulars, size 2, 48" cable. I did a simple 5 row 1x1 rib for the cuff, stockinette for the leg and foot, and eye of the partridge stitch for the heel. I LOVE the diamond pattern it creates. Here is a closeup.


I hope you enjoyed this post! I'll update with more when the pairs are finished.

Quick little update!

   I currently have a lot of WIP (works in progress) going on. I also recently discovered I am NOT allergic to wool. Hallelujah! I have also learned how to knit socks. I'm getting through my snowflake afghan (17 blocks out of 55 finished, I'm doing a smaller size now), and I will have a KnitPicks haul to share this week. So stay tuned!
