Pair 20 - Devon

This pair is 13/15 from the Sock Innovations project.

This pair did end up sidelined for the previous pairs which were commissions and were generally a simpler sock to knit than some of the heavily cabled ones.
Not my favourite pair and they have come out pretty ugly looking.
The pattern is rather lacy and I think the main issue is the needle size is too big.

The yarn used is another Laughing yaffle one, colour way is Cranberry crush.

I will be knitting these again at some point, when I've done some other ones and next time will use a 2.5mm needle to see if it looks any better.

I washed the socks and the pattern tightened up and looks so much better as shown in the 2nd photograph

A bonus is, this pair marks 1/5th of the way to my target of 100 pairs of socks:-)

Pair 19 - Kristi

Pair 12/15 from the Sock Innovations project.

This fabulous pair were a second commission for Chicken Licken from Fetcheveryone.com website.
I really enjoyed knitting this pair, they were a major challenge beign a heavily cabled pair of socks, but the yarn selected for them - LY Silk blend called Neptune was so lovely to work with and such a soft yarn, I was almost reluctant to part with them.

I did tweak the pattern and didn't do the full leg repeats as they would have been far too long.

The recipient was thrilled with them and they fitted perfectly.
I will definitely be knitting this pair again at some point for myself.
