I wasn't going to keep these, but gift them but because they fit me perfectly and I love them ....
PLUS ... two pairs of my hand knitted sock that I'm currently wearing are on their last legs so these are my newest to make their way into my panniers!
See Mosaic Socks for full info on yarn and pattern
Marco found himself attending his mum's burial in brightly colored socks so I agreed to make some dark socks.
See my my Ravelry page for details.
I am NEVER going to make black socks again... I think my eyes are just not good enough ...
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.
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)
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
