Boy this sock was a real challenge. This challenge was with the SKP2008 group where we knit a new sock pattern and see who can knit it the fastest. I was #74 so was long ways from being 1st but the fun was worth it. Yarn used was Georga burgundy yarn on 2.25 mm needles.
Learnt to make toe up, short heel rows and gusset and of course knit with magic loop.
Really like this pattern and made another pair out of Opal turquoise yarn which look much prettier.
My daughter will love them.
Have been busy making socks for Bob and the Georga pair was his 3 pair.
Now he has 5 pairs in his drawer and guess who said he wouldn't wear home knitted socks.
Now he loves them and wears them all the time.
The last 2 pairs were made regular stocking stitch with kitchener toes and out of ON YOU TOES yarn.
Now I am busy making him a 6th pair out of Panda cotton with different color diamonds.
So always have a pair on the needles.
Am also making a pair for myself out of Panda cotton with a lacy pattern on the leg.
