Pair 15 - Sam

Pair 11/15 of the Sock Innovations Project.


This pair was knitted for my good friend Kate who hasn't had a very good 2012 and deserves something lovely.
She chose the yarn from my stash bag and the pattern out of the book.
The yarn had other ideas and was incredibly reluctant to become this pair of socks, with multiple restarts needed and having to reduce the number of repeats for the leg element and come down a needle size for the heel and foot.

Once I got going it was an easy pattern to follow and works rather well with this yarn.

I think I prefer more cabled style of pattern than some of the heavily laced ones which tend to look a bit scruffy in my knitting.
