Welcome to Fall. In honor of the season - these are my pumpkin socks.
Pattern is ladybug socks - but I made them out of orange yarn and they are now pumpkin socks. They took me forever, through no fault of the socks. I got them cast on, but then because
they needed concentration they kept getting put aside for knits that needed less thought.
Once I actually started working on them - I was able to commit the pattern to memory and even work on them on the bus! I know, right?!
They have all my usual specks - toe up; two at a time; gusset and heel flap. I do increase the gusset to 20 stitches per side and I like them much better that way, but I need to remember to start the heel earlier - about 3.5" short. While they fit fine, I think they will fit better if I start the gusset increases earlier.
These will be fun to wear this year with my jeans. A nice bright pop of pumpkin peaking out when I sit or walk.

YUM! They look like orange sherbet! These are about as yummy as the Tomato Soup Sox!
ReplyDeleteAh, pumpkin... I REALLY want some savory pumpkin and pasta!
ReplyDeletePumpkin socks - what a great autumn idea! It's nice that you have guaranteed knitting time every work day. As long as people don't start referring to you as the crazy bus knitting lady.
ReplyDeleteI think you should send them to Chan. We all know how much she loves anything orange.
