This pink pair I designed. They have lace up the foot and a fold over ruffle. They are the last pair of socks that my FIL saw me knitting and he was just fascinated. He would just sit and watch and then he wanted to guess how many stitches were in a pair.
The fit is perfect, just the right amount of negative ease and oh so girly - I love them.
This second pair was knit for JB for Christmas last year. The pattern is called Par 5 based on the designers favorite hole on her favorite golf course. According to her - a Par 5 is very easy. I don't golf, but I thought the higher the par number the harder the hole. Anyway - these were super easy to knit. I did them top down with an after-thought heel.
The main color is Eagles blue and the contrast is a dark grey.
He said they were a wee bit tight going on, but perfect once he was wearing them. The cables add a bit of interest and kept me from poking my eyes out making is favorite socks - a very boring 2x2 rib.
Love the pink pair!
ReplyDeleteLove those ruffly pink socks. I'm a sucker for ruffles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful socks - both pairs. Wonder if the pink pair pattern would cure my knitting drought?
ReplyDeleteBoth pairs are beautiful and so creative! Love the feminine ruffles ~
ReplyDeleteBoth pair of socks are wonderful (and the perfect distraction)...I wonder where a girl could find the pattern for said pink pair?
ReplyDeleteI love those pink ruffly socks! I have to set the camera up and use the self timer to take about 4 billion pictures so I get one halfway decent. Your picture problems are not yours alone.
ReplyDeleteVery nice socks. The pink pair is my fave, though. : )
ReplyDeleteVery nice, love the colors in the Par 5 socks!
