Can I tell you how much I enjoyed working on these socks? I thoroughly enjoyed this knit!!!
Another fantastic pattern from Anne. Very well written with her typical intuitive flow. I was able to memorize the pattern after 2 repeats. I so love this about Anne's patterns!
I managed to catch Hannah in a good mood today, which meant squeezing in a few pictures of finished items. As you probably can guess Hannah hates having her picture taken, so when she is feeling agreeable I move quickly…LOL. Hannah's feet are a bit bigger than mine, so these socks don't fit her quite as well as they fit me….and they fit me like a glove :-) I'm still not crazy about knitting these short row wrapped heels, but I am getting better at them. The next pair of these I make just may have a flap heel though….just sayin'. 🙂
My only regret is that I did not add a few repeats to the leg portion of the sock. I typically like a longer sock, but given that this was a test knit for a new yarn I didn't want to push it….but I could have as there was plenty of yarn left over. Over all I am so happy with these socks. Love the yarn, love the pattern….you will see another pair in the not too distant future. 🙂
Lovely knit as always….and I love your colorway.

Those are really beautiful! I’m a heel flap girl, too, and usually ignore short row heel directions and insert my favorite heel instead.

Your colorways are all enticing! The socks look fun and I’d add the flapper, too. 😉
