Work In Progress Wednesdays sound like a good motivation to keep up on my weekly project reports, so here is my trial run!
I have a couple WIPs at the moment (errr… so much for my knitting monogamy?), but the one thats currently the most fun are my Hedera socks.
Knit up in Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine in a sort of complex deep red colorway. It’s hard to capture in photos but the color is gorgeous and it matches the red in my safire cardigan.
We’ve had extremely hot weather the last few days, so it feels much more appropriate to knit up something lacey. These are my first pair of lace socks, and I love how stretchy they are turning out to be. Hopefully they will stay up better than my first 2 pairs, and since I’m making these normal length instead of kneehigh, I wont get sock-burn-out-syndrome again. The lace is a very simple 4 row repeat, very easy to memorize which makes these a perfect travel project. This is also my first project working with twisted rib, and I love the way it looks!
I love that pattern. The sock looks great! You are pretty talented!
Lovely! The stitch pattern combined with the yarn is stunning.
The socks are going to be great! I love the pattern! It’s hot here too, so I feel your pain! Thanks for participating in WIPW!
those look like they are fun to make:) the lace looks like interlocking hearts in this picture:)
The socks look fun to knit. It’s been hot down here for several months.
it’s looking fabulous! Your stitches are so neat… *admires*
Very pretty! And the pattern looks like it’s fun to knit. I never tried knitting lace socks before either. These would be perfect for Valentine’s day.
Aren’t Cookie A patterns great? You are knitting them up in a beautiful color.
