Fellow Sock Knitter

I forgot to blog this last month and I must name check Monique, who also knits socks.

She has some fab patterns and I will be cribbing some for my target of 100 pairs:-)

Tonight will be spent finishing my Suduko blanket squares and spare square from the Liquorice Allsorts yarn, then hopefully in the next day or so pair 12 will be on the needles- Lindsay from Sock Innovations.

I do love Cookie A's patterns and have a feeling that her patterns will feature very highly in the overall total.

Pair 11 - Rick

This is also pair 7/15 from the Sock Innovations book.

Seemed to take an age to finish as I had several false starts while trying to get to grips with the pattern.
It was the first time I have knitted different left and right socks.  The pattern itself was only 4 rows, but jogged after each round and coupled with a yarnover at the start or end of a round, meant I had to shift where that was on my needles to avoid a large hole appearing.

This isn't one of my favourite pair of socks from the book, I have knitted better and I feel the pattern with all the loops and yarn overs looks a bit scruffy.

The yarn works well, it does mask the pattern a bit in the photos, it is more obvious when being worn.
