A very enjoyable knit. I made the foot portion stockinette to be sure I didn't run out of yarn since these are a gift. I grin with glee at the thought that I have hundreds more socks to make from this book!

Happy Knitting all!

Slipstitch Ribs

Finally, another completed pair.




The stitch pattern is Slipstitch Rib, but I used the toe-up short row toe/heel "recipe" to maximize yarn. Paton's Kroy yarn, 2 skeins of the main color, about 1/2 a skein of the contrast. I loved the Slipstitch Rib; really easy, not too dull, and a nicely textured final result.


More details and pictures, as usual, at the blog.

Seriously Overdue Post

Here's a picture of my "basket weave socks" from SKS. I should have posted this one a long time ago. I used 2 skeins of Collinette Jitterbug in Castagna- took me a while because they're size 13 (mens)!

Crosshatch Lace Socks.

LL Shepherd Sock in Poppy
Worked toe up with a short row heel, magic 8 cast on toe, and a Russian bind off for the cuff.



Whew, all done. I like how this pattern looks on the leg.

One Down and One to Go

I have had this yarn it seems like since before time began. It is a Stahl yarn but the name escapes me since I didn't keep the band. The pattern is Slip Stitch Rib from SSS. My DH just made the socker blockers from wire hangers. The foot is big because their intended reciepent has large feet.

elongated corded rib in schaefer anne

From book #1, these are elongated corded rib. This 4-stitch pattern knits up to a lovely scrunchy fabric. The Schaefer Anne is soft, and compared to the book photo, the rib took on a completely different definition (she used Gems Opal). I'm very happy with this pair.

Pattern: elongated corded rib
Yarn: Schaefer Anne
Needles: silvalume size 1 dpns

I haven't got a pair of socks picture but I took my book to Kinkos and had them spiral bind the book so it lays flat! It sure makes it easier to follow the patterns.

Broad Spiral Purls

I am so frustrated with blogger that after so much trouble posting this, I'll keep it short and sweet. Broad Spiral Ribbing in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Black Purl.

Happy Knitting!

Eight-stitch basketweave socks.

Check it out! I *finally* finished a pair of yummy purple socks using the eight-stitch basketweave pattern from SKS. These have been OTN for months, so I am thrilled they're complete at last. More pictures and the whole story at http://beelzebubknits.blogspot.com/

Hi

Hi, I'm new here and here's my first pair of socks!
Scrolls from More sensational knitted socks. Knitted in opal on 2,5 mm needles.

schaefer anne in a corded rib

elongated corded rib

From book 1, this is a 4-stitch pattern. I like it so much, I knit the leg twice. Grrrr. Had to frog a little, no, a lot, because I couldn't judiciously frog such slidey yarn. I think I'm just used to my handspun. I needed to go back about 3/4" of the leg where I'd dropped two YOs. Fergit it. So, yesterday, I frogged back to the cuff and reknit the leg, turned the heel and finished the gusset. Moral to the story is: "Don't knit in the dark." We're knitting socks here, not growing mushrooms.

Update

Ridged Feather Socks

After a weekend of doing--no exaggeration--about 12 loads of laundry after the kids returned from camp, I was happy to steal an hour of knitting time while watching a favorite HBO Show, "Big Love." I finished my Ridged Feather Socks--the first pair I've made from start to finish during "Summer of Socks," and I am very pleased with them.
I know some people prefer to match up the colors on variegated yarns like this so that the stripes are the same colors in the same placement on both feet, but I rather like the fact that mine don't synch up at all--that really shows that they're handmade, and I like the one-of-a-kind feel of them.

I have more of a skein left than I usually do with yarns like Socks that Rock, so I am thinking about eking out a pair of baby socks for Afghans for Afghans with the remainder...but that will have to wait.

Cabled Dream Socks

I absolutely love these socks! In fact, I think they are my favorite pair to date. They are a combination of the 3 X 3 Cable Stitch with Moss Stitch and the Cable Braid with Garter Bead patterns, resulting in a 3 X 3 cable with a garter bead.

Happy sock knitting!
