First of the summer socks

I've just signed up for the Southern Summer of Socks. I've yet to set myself a target, but am thinking it might be to do with knee socks. I've started with the Spiral Boot Socks from Interweave Summer 07, using Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn in Foxy Lady. (Why does the name instantly make me think of Kath, from Kath and Kim??) Its knitting up quickly, I started this Sunday afternoon and reckon I'll be doing the heel flap by Friday. They are also going to double as a Christmas present, but to preserve the surprise the recipient shall remain nameless.....

oh that looks wonderful. I almost cast them on tonight. That colourway looks really, really good. What size needles are you using?

Carol said...

Absolutely sensational, the colour and the knitting.

Hi Bells, I'm using Knitpicks 2.75mm. These socks are just flying off the needles and the pattern is enough to keep things interesting but not complicated. I decided not to do the fancy cuff pattern as it just disappeared in this colourway.

Awww, these socks are gorgeous! What a beautiful pattern, and I absolutely love the warm and calm colourway you've been using! Great!
