Falling in Love Socks

by tua bella

Started 2/10/07, completed 3/6/07, but I wasn’t working very much on them. The first sock went fast. I dawdled on the second.

Pattern here.

The yarn is from KnitPicks, and was dyed specially for me by my awesome Secret Pal, Rachel. The stripes turned out perfectly!

Easter Socks 1

by sin city kitty

I knit these socks using yarn that I dyed with Easter Egg Dye. Blogged.

Made from Crown Mountain Sock Hop “Big Yellow Taxi” using a highly modified Jaywalker pattern. I spun the yarn. I did four 15 stitch panels of the chevron on US 2 needles with yarn that was a little too thick for US 1’s. I was learning how to spin the Sock Hop yarn, and dd it too thick, but I love, love, love my socks as they’re supple, strong, soft, and springy.
