These are from the 2013 Cookie A Sock Club! Every other month, sock designer Cookie A mails you two sock patterns, a skein of lovely sock yarn to make one of the patterns, and two cookie recipes. I received this pattern in the first shipment around February. I knit up the first pair of socks in the skein I received and got a significant amount done on this pair in the second pattern, but then the next Cookie A package arrived in the mail... Originally, I wanted to knit at least one pair of socks per shipment before the next package arrived so I put these down and started the next pair. And never picked them back up. (And the other pair of socks is still on my needles...)
But I've picked them up again and now they're done!
This was a fun, quick pattern. I think the stitches got a little lost in the dark, variegated yarn, so if I make these again, I'll probably do them in a solid or semi-solid yarn that is a brighter color.
These are super cute! I am trying to learn how to knit socks. I have to learn how to actually knit first, but I have grand dreams of many pairs of socks in my future.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're really cozy. I really like Cookie A's patterns. They're very mathematical and well-written which makes them easy to learn on too. Her designs are here: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/cookie-a
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to show me some pictures of your knitting! Your quilts are always so pretty (as is your white dress!) so I'm sure your socks will be too.
