Fourth Time Lucky Socks



There is a lot I love about these socks: the yarn, the stripe matching, the kitchener stitched toe and the overall comfort of hand-knitted socks.


 I managed to catch a photo between the erratic heavy showers.



Made from Drops Fabel given to me from a good friend knitted on a mixture of DPN's (double pointed needles) and the addi sockwunder circular needle. I managed to find my rhythm with this pair. 
The pattern is by Susan Anderson.

Thank you for taking your time to visit here as always. I have cast on another pair, of course.

      Thank you! I use a have-a-go approach to any craft and I am not a perfectionist.

      It has took me a while and I am not a master yet. I want to try some patterned ones but need more basics. Jo x

    Well done! It's so addictive isn't it! I think for me its the simple rhythm, with little thought needed, and yet a pretty pattern developing all by itself and you pretty much know they are going to fit and look good on!

    Had to look up the addi sockwunder needles. They sound good. I'll have to get some as they sound easier than my usual dpns. Beautiful socks. Nothing like toasty toes in handknitted socks.

    Still haven't gotten very far with socks, maybe I should try the circular needle. Anyway, yours are lovely!
