After my mini-rant the other day about knee socks with skirts, here I am modeling a finished pair of knee socks with the skirt I wore all day. Of course, what else would you wear with knee socks?
Specs:
Elegant Ribbed Stockings from Favorite Knits
Started: January 31, 2009
Finished: February 18, 2009
Yarn: Trendsetter yarns Merino IV Batik, 5 balls!
Cost: You don't want to know! Seriously. I had a gift certificate for the yarn, it was still $8/ball. I also needed to get 3 new addi lace circulars so I had needles long enough and in the right size for this project. So you all know that I spent more on the needles than the yarn, right? Thankfully, these needles will see lots of use in sweater making.
Extras: 2 yards of ribbon to run through the eyelets at the top of the socks. However, I didn't take into consideration how long these socks are and really - each sock needs 2 yards of ribbon. So, I'll be purchasing more.
I'm not a big sock person, but those are adorable. They go nicely with that skirt, too.
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon is a nice touch with the socks. And if you'd modeled them under pants, how would we see them? Let's not even talk about the other modeling options!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the skirt with the ruffle at the back, too!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! As for the price - the needles are going to be used on other projects so...... LOL
ReplyDeleteThose are precious! And I love them with that skirt. Seriously, I think you need a pair for you!
