Pattern by Mona Schmidt, printed in Favorite Socks
Yarn Cherry Tree Hill supersock solid 'Bark'
Needles size US1
Now I can't wait for some cooler weather so I can wear these.
The Go with the Flow socks are progressing nicely. I'm not the gushy type, but I love-love-love the Cherry Tree Hill 'Burgundy' yarn I am using. The color is ruby red and seems to glisten. Yum! I haven't knit with all the sock yarns available, but CTH is my current fave. And they are having a contest to name their new supersock solid colors. Go here to enter.
Oh, very cute socks!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow these are great.. Is there any group related to this pattern. It seems to be to tight. I would like to know how to increase the pattern,,any ideas??
ReplyDeleteThe pattern calls for US2 needles, but I used US1 and these socks fit my size 11 feet just fine. If I wanted them a bit bigger, I would try US2 needles first. I think adding a pattern repeat would make them too big. Or you might contact the pattern author for ideas on increasing the size a bit.
ReplyDeleteHi Abby,
ReplyDeleteThe socks are beautiful. I finished a pair of wool socks this summer, and I have been wearing them. They are surprisingly not hot. They say wool can keep you warm or cool. I guess they're right.
Re. EZ, I do admire clever construction. EZ has a lot of this, but I don't like anything else about her.
