The pattern is Helen Socks by Verybusymonkey and you can find it on Ravelry here.
I used Cascade Heritage yarn. The color combined with lace pattern was hard to photograph, but it is a dark hunter green. The lace would probably show up better in a lighter color but this is what it is.
Now in photographing this sock and trying it on I noticed that I made several mistakes. The lace is only a 4 row repeat and rows 2 and 4 are just knit, but sometimes I didn't read my knitting correctly and there are boo boos.... and they are going to stay that way. I figure even if I ripped it out and reknit there is no guarantee that I wouldn't make the same errors again just in different places. These are busy enough I don't think anyone is going to notice... and if you are looking at my feet that closely you probably have other issues I don't want to know about.
I have started the mate to this sock - cause I love the color and the yarn- it is very squishy (that's a technical term you know - LOL). Also, I've got the leg knit on another pair of big black socks for my son. And there is a new shawl I want to start and numerous other projects I've been piddling with... life is good!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I have some prep work for the Thanksgiving feast I want to take care of and then I want to spend the rest of the weekend doing something crafty.
Happy stitching-

Your socks are always so pretty that it is crime to cover them up with shoes although I don't like the idea of them getting dirty either. The only solution left is to perch upon the couch and prop your feet up! I would have to come pop you on the head if you took apart those socks! They are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a "new" pattern to try. Thanks for showing this one. It was a bargain at 90 cents too.
ReplyDeleteLove the sock...it looks so comfy. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend. :)
I never thought I would describe a sock as beautiful, but that one is!! I don't think anyone could ever see the error! In cross stitch , I only fix the ones that are obvious. Enjoy your week-end!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty color--green being my favorite--don't know that I could tear myself away from staring at your feet if we should meet :) Hope your weekend plans go as you desire!
ReplyDeleteCan I call it an awesome finish if it is still only one sock?
ReplyDeleteGreat looking pattern and sock color. If anyone sees your mistakes, then I think they "do" have other issues!:)
