The pictures aren't very good. I was playing with the settings on JB's camera. Guess I'm going to have to learn to "photoshop" my pictures - now can somebody send me some extra time?
Anyway - this yarn was left over from a mystery sock I participated in last year. It was Pagewood Farms - which is lovely and squishy and makes a fabulously comfy sock.
I recently purchased a couple of harmony guides - so for these socks, I picked a pattern and just knit. It's an eyelet that travels across a rib background. The book only had it going in one direction so I did have to modify the pattern and figure out how to make it go the other way.
But I managed. The green foot was the contrast color on the first pair of socks and I didn't realize I had so much of the brown left - it goes quite high up the leg, but I'll just wear them folded over. The eyelet only goes over the top of the foot.
These were fun to knit and I'm enjoying taking a stitch pattern and manipulating it to get what I want. Watch out knitting!

Love the pattern and the colours you've used. My third pair of socks are progressing well - they need to in our current chilly weather, no snow, just lots of sleet showers instead. Thank goodness for a rotund furry Zebbycat to snuggle up to at night.
ReplyDeleteHuggles to you all, especially your lovely Dudley Hound (sending him extra special healing huggles from me and happy-time snores from Zeb)

I noticed your pictures were bluish yesterday, too. Are you using Windows Vista? Their "photo gallery" utility has an "auto fix" thing which might fix the color for you. I'm not much of a photoshopper myself, but I can loan you Ryan, if you need help. He's playing with it this summer out of boredom while it's 90+ here and they can't go outside and get sunburned during the day. I like the eyelet traveling up the foot; you make such pretty socks!
ReplyDeleteI had problems with those "blueish" pictures too once and it is some setting I had hit by accident on my camera. I will try to figure it out and get back to you about it.
ReplyDeletePretty socks. Om my Mac I have photoshop elements and it has an auto-fix that will take the blue out of your photo. I'm sure it's just an adjustment on the camera.
ReplyDeleteWay to use up those left overs. :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGood to put leftovers to good use. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm just looking forward to more time to knit on Cotty today! I want to crank out socks too.
