Socks - snazzy and comfy

I started these socks quite a while ago and finally finished them on New Year's Eve.  I tried them on to photograph them but then kept them on for the rest of the day.  They are so comfy to wear and fit so well under my boots.

The yarn is Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn and is a wool/nylon mix.  There are beautiful colour changes within each ball.  I have quite a number of balls of this yarn, in different colours.  I really am spoilt for choice for my next pair of Noro socks.

This pair was worked on 3mm dpn have a picot top, lace ribbed leg and instep, v heel and origami toe.  The toe seam is stitched using the Kitchener technique so there is no seam.

I already have two more pairs of socks on the go, so before I start another pair, I need to finish these first.  My challenge to me is to finished both pairs in two weeks and then I will be well on the way to finished another pair before the month is out!  Well, here's hoping!

Happy knitting, x

    1. Thanks Linda. I think now you have mastered working in the round, you will be able to incorporate some patterning. Try it, I'm sure you can do it. x
