OzKnitter: 07/2 ~ STR Socks

07/2 ~ STR Socks

21 January 2007

Yarn: Socks That Rock (STR) in "Seal Rock"
[Received from Karen in a swap]
Pattern: My own. Ribbed leg and eye of partridge heel flaps
Needles: 2.50mm Clover bamboo DPNs

Thoughts: STR is LOVELY to work with. It doesn't split at all and creates a lovely dense, yet very soft, fabric. I can definitely see why it's as popular as it is. I am now a fan.

Thanks again Karen!

*Apologies for the quality of the photograph. Due to the weather change we've had this week (the cooler weather and lots of rain has been most welcome!) the sun has been hiding behind all the clouds which means that this is an indoor shot, with flash. As soon as I can, I'll grab an outdoor, daylight shot.

I also received some STR in a swap recently and knit with it for the first time. I too am now a convert -isn't it gorgeous?
Your socks look lovely- I love the way the colours have striped on the legs

They are very pretty! I love how the stripes change from the leg to the foot. Enjoy!

Gorgeous colours - and I love the way the pooling swirls round the leg.

The colour is wonderful. I love the way it spirals down the leg :-)
