Charlotte's Socks

Yarn from my favourite yarn supplier. A very soft yarn 70% merino and 30% silk so they might wear quite well.

See my Ravelry page for details of yarn from Shibui Knits.

I usually make socks that are functional rather than challenging and quite like multicoloured yarn but I had fun making these from a pattern.

I thought the pink/yellow combo might mean that they might not find a good home but today Charlotte says she is a keen pink/orange/yellow person so they're for her.

Man Socks




I bought this from a different supplier Bob and Nancy's who were offering free shipping. Alas, they closed that option so my next buy will be from my favourite supplier.

These socks will fit a man - but they're too big for Marco..

PS
They have a good home with Foster (29 Sep 2013)

Marika's Socks




I purchased this yarn from another yarn supplier in the USA. It's Fleece Artist Merino 2/6 and the colour is Puffin.

The pooling and striping when it has been knitted up makes the socks quite unusual. I hope the recipient will find them funky.

See my Ravelry page for full details

Socks for me!

I love 100% wool socks but I wear them out pretty quick. I darn each sock only once and I only have a maximum of three pairs on the go.

These are pretty and I love 'em and looking forward to wearing them.

Sockdown September Socks 2013

These were a great pattern to make although I'd make an adjustment of a extra wrap on the knit stitches that become slip stitches... Check out the starflower patternpattern


Great yarn from my favourite supplier. A gorgeous yarn too

I'm going to make another pair with two separate colours of yarn.
