The second one simply flew by as I worked Space City Con and ran around helping my amazing volunteers out as they assisted patrons with directions and played tour guide a couple of times. I even managed to get the stripes to line up almost exactly!
You can tell on the heels and toes that it was a bit off but I think that's partially because on the second heel I was trying to go by memory and didn't start the turning at exactly the same spot. Either way I don't care, I think they're perfect!
I don't think I'm a huge fan of the star toe, but I had to at least try it. The heels are eye of partridge and that doesn't really bother me, though I didn't get the slightly raised diagonals I read should appear .. perhaps I did it wrong. If I do this pattern again, which is a possibility, I'll change the numbers a bit and only add one repeat at cast on, decrease a bit before doing the heel, and do a different toe. This pair though? I'm in love!
Pattern - Circle Socks by Anne Campbell
Yarn - Knit Picks Felici in Caprica
Ravelry Project Page
Modifications - Added 16 stiches to the cast on as the original was way too tight for me.
Nice socks! Love the stripes :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteNice job on lining up the stripes! They look great
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI'm glad you love them! It's always great when a pair of socks work out. And I'm really impressed with the striping- that is not easy.
ReplyDeleteI credit the fantastic yarn with a large part of the stripes lining up. :D I'm thrilled that they're so pretty. :D
DeleteThose look great! That's really and interesting pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had fun knitting them so that's another point for the pattern.
DeleteGreat socks! I want to HAVE hand-knitted socks; I just don't want to knit them myself. Yours look terrific.
ReplyDeleteWell ... I do knit on commission. ;)
DeleteHonestly the time is so worth it and it's small enough to try out new things without things going too haywire. :)
Nice socks, very lovely color combination and excellent work on matching the pair!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteOoh, they look great to me and the color is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The color is something I don't normally wear ... but I'm very glad I went with it. :)
DeleteLovely, lovely socks!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThey look great! And to my eye, the stripes look spot on. I thought you were knitting at red lights :o) Not that I would do anything like that....no way....not at all....shh don't ask my kids :o)
ReplyDelete*laugh* I've been known to pull out the knitting if traffic is particularly terrible when I'm driving. A lot of it though is done while in line or while walking around shopping. :D
DeleteGreat socks. I love the pattern and the colours!
ReplyDeletePretty projects and great idea,Thank you for the tutorial and for sharing !
