I finished my socks a few days ago and I’m just getting the chance now to post about them. I love them! They are soft and the colors are beautiful. I knit the leg nice and long like I like my hand knit socks to be.
The pattern was simple and the chart was easy to memorize. I really like the yarn. It is Cascade Heritage sock yarn and my first time to use it even though I have a few skeins in my stash that I have bought over the years.
I was excited to find out that there is a Ravelry group that is knitting all the socks in Socks from the Toe Up, but then discovered that it has been going on for over a year and they only have one or two left. Bummer. I am glad I have my knit along with you and Anita.
Pattern: Diagonal Lace Socks from Socks from the Toe Up by Wendy Johnson
Needles: size 1 (2.25mm)
Yarn: Cascade Heritage Paints
For April and May we are knitting Jagged by Through the Loops. Isn’t it a cool looking sock? Reminds me of zig zag quilts, which I love.
I got lucky and won a giveaway from Fat Quarter Shop for Amy’s new book! There are a lot of fun quilts in the book and I look forward to making some of them!
