After I packed my work away for the day, I went on a mini cleaning rampage. I focused on my knitting station/coffee table and frogged some UFOs, organized some patterns, and rediscovered a design I had started a few months ago...
It was only a few repeats from being done, so I put my nose to the grindstone and finished it off. The pattern needs a few minor tweaks, and of course the second sock knit - but I'm quite pleased with it. It's very light and lacey - the perfect spring/summer sock.
This one is knit in our Alley Cat BFL - it's not my favourite, but it's still a good sturdy sock yarn, and washes up beautifully!
I've got a few more octopi to knit for friends (a couple of requests came in after I posted the last on Facebook), but I expect I should get the second sock done pretty quick. It's one of those patterns you seem to breeze through, because you just want to knit a few more rows to get to the end of the lace repeat.
Nice looking sock; there's something about lace on a sock.
ReplyDeleteLace socks are fun to knit. However, at the moment I still shudder when I think about knitting socks. I hope my sock mojo returns soon. What colorway is that?
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. Love the socks. Lace is perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteI expect that you could be busy for the foreseeable future if you show those octopi around - they rock!
ReplyDeleteCute sock pattern! Can't wait to see it done!
Pretty, pretty socks! Hope your back feels better soon.
