Hard to believe I have another pair of socks done! Actually these were finished before the Dolomites but I am sure you will forgive my foggy state of brain (things have been... well... a little tough... to say the least) but I had to show you! (And Typepad has this great thing where you can do a few or many posts and then decide when to post....so I did a few 'cause I have been knitting; not much else but definitely some knitting).
Specs: Eyelet and Flame Chevron Socks
Yarn: Celestial Merino (Sugar Maple Colourway)
Knit Toe Up on 2.5mm circular needles
I loved this yarn! There are yarns I like and yarns I love and then there are yarns I LOVE. This is definitely in the LOVE category. Beautiful texture and sheen, wonderful elasticity and knitability and fantastic colour! I know I raved about them before and I am still crazy about the yarn - anyone who has enjoyed the festival of fall Maple leaves and the blaze of colour will completely understand the perfection and subtlety of this colourway.
The sock pattern itself was a joy to knit. Kept me interested enough, wasn't hard and worked up quickly. Sort of the perfect sock. I am so in love with these.....so keep your hands off! Seriously though, YOU MUST KNIT A PAIR FOR YOURSELVES, you will not be disappointed!
