Garter Rib Socks in Sangria

Finally!

These socks have been on the needles for quite some time. I kept neglecting them for other projects, then I had needle issues (at one time or another, I have used dpns, 2 circs and magic loop to get these done). But they fit like a DREAM and I love how this Garter Rib pattern showcases the colorway.

My lovely friend Cindy custom-dyed this yarn for me as a gift. Just one of many beautiful yarns she's got at her etsy shop Cherry Blossom Fibers.

• Yarn: Sangria custom colorway, superwash Merino sockweight
• Pattern: Garter Rib
• Needles: Us 1 2/2 (2.5mm)

Garter Rib Socks

These are my first socks for the KAL, and my second pair of socks ever. I used Cider Moon's Glacier weight yarn in Banana Cabana.

I had so much fun knitting these, and my kids love them so much, that they promptly put in orders for pairs.

These could be very elegant in a solid color sock yarn. I'm a firm believer in knitted socks being fun, though! At least for now.

Garter Rib Sock #1

My first post here, and first sock pattern from this great book....I feel so honored to join in the SKS pool of lovely socks.

I chose the Garter Rib socks pattern - this is the first of many pairs to be sure.

I'm only finished with Sock 1 so far, but #2 is not far behind. I modified the pattern only a little by continuing the garter rib pattern down the top of the foot past the toe decreases. The yarn is Sangria; a merino superwash that was hand-dyed by my good friend over at Cherry Blossom Fibers. I used the 2 circulars method with Knit Picks size 1 (2.5mm) needles. (LOVE these).

This was quite the relaxing knit, but I'm sure you sock veterans know that already :)

Better Late ...

As I patiently wait for the second installment of SKS to arrive, I realized that I needed to go ahead and sign up for this knitalong. The first pair of socks was completed in December '05 and the next two early '06, and the last pair in mid '06.

Missing is the pair of Openwork Ribs in Regia Bamboo Color. The pattern is virtually impossible to capture and I didn't realize a finished pic was missing until I started posting here.

I look forward to seeing and sharing more sock progress. I can also be found at Fiberitis.

Mother's Day socks completed

Mothers Day Garter Rib Socks

Pattern: Garter Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Opal Sugar Almond Magic Yarn from Get Knitted
2.5mm addi turbos
Started: 26th March 2006
Finished: 26th April 2006

DD gave me the yarn for Mothers Day and apart from going wrong on the second sock when I was ill these socks have gone really smoothly. They're the first pair that I've knitted from Sensational Knitted Socks & I fully intend to use the book again soon.

Another first for me is that the stripes match up! I tried to get my first pair to match but a stripe was missing & then I ran out of yarn so it didn't happen.
