OzKnitter: Sockapalooza ~ Socks #11/2007

Sockapalooza ~ Socks #11/2007

13 August 2007

My Sockapalooza pal Holly has received her socks!

*Be sure to check out Holly's pictures as they show the lace pattern better than my photo does*

I started out knitting Wyvern socks, but realised the 'scales' weren't showing too clearly with the colour of the yarn... so I flipped through some books for ideas, and came across "Padded Footlets" in Favorite Socks. A bit of tweaking and designing later, and voila... my first pair of toe-up socks (finally OzKnitter's knitted toe-up socks, I hear some of you exclaim)!

The yarn is Elizabeth 100% Superwash Merino from Live2Knit in the "Smoke" colourway. It's lovely and soft, a dream to knit with (it 'takes' frogging well too).

They fit and Holly loves them, so I'm delighted.

Holly's socks look great! The ribbing across the foot is nice.

I'd love a copy of the photo for the gallery.
