Hello! I am beginning to settle into my new apartment and have finally had the time to take some pictures. While waiting for my new stock, after what we will call modestly my "non yarn episode", I dug deep into my leftover sock yarn and came out with a little less than 100 grams.
Pattern: My own recipe.
Yarn: Sweet Georgia, Tough Love Sock (Mist) 68 grams & Dream in Color, Smooshy (Wisterious) 29 grams.
Needles: Addi Turbo Circular, 2.75mm, 80cm.
Recipe: CO 60 with CC, 2x2 rib, 14 rounds. Change to MC: 68 rounds. Heel in CC, picked up 20 with MC.
Gusset decreases and foot in MC. Toe decreases in CC until 12 sts left, graft.
I knitted these socks for myself at first, but my Mum loved them so much that I couldn't resist and now they belong to her (she will soon have as much handknit socks as me).
More details and pics can be found on my ravelry project page.
Oh, and I have exciting news to share: my pattern "By the Seine River" has been translated in French (thanks to Wonderliza), and a KAL is organized on In the Loop's group! Feel free to subscribe!
Wishing you a lovely week!
I totally understand your Mum that she wanted these socks to be hers!!! Beautiful color combination and this k2xp2 ribbing all way long is very very nice with this yarn!
RépondreSupprimerWOW! Congrats' for the translation and the KAL ... I'll check if I have some sock yarn left ... *lol* and I'm off to subcribe!
I love how nicely those colors matched. It was as if they were a kit you purchased. I enjoy using my left over yarns to make new socks. I usually use the "pattern" yarn for the cuff and I use a solid color for the heel and foot. I plan to knit a crazy sock made up of several left overs. Thank for your By The Seine River pattern. I hope to knit it after I've completed my Christmas projects.
RépondreSupprimerYou're welcome I'm so happy you like my pattern. :)
SupprimerElles sont jolies comme tout. Dommage pour moi que mon anglais "tricotesque" soit si rudimentaire car je n'arrive pas à comprendre les explications...
RépondreSupprimerMerci!
SupprimerCe ne sont pas vraiment des explications, plus une recette rudimentaire:
Monter 60m dans la couleur contrastante, 14 tours de côtes 2x2, passer à la couleur principale et travailler en côtes la jambe. Talon en CC, relever 20m avec la CP, tricoter le pied, et diminuer pour la pointe jusqu'à 12m, grafting. Voilà!
Elles sont simples et tellement belles !
RépondreSupprimerHonestly Dona, if ever I am to be persuaded to knit socks it will be down to you, these are just gorgeous!
RépondreSupprimerWhich sock yarn would you recommend to a beginner who likes mostly natural fibres?
Annie, thank you so much for your lovely compliments.
SupprimerYou might love Shibui Socks and Koigu. They are both 100% merino and oh so soft!
Dona, you are an inspiration! Everything you make looks so picture perfect.
RépondreSupprimerI'm very pleased to see that you too are a fan of Koigu! I love their yarn for making tiny rabbit clothes.
