Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

I’ve finished the socks that I began in the Lake district, I thinks sock are going to be addicitve!

O believe me, they are!  I’m gagging to knit a pair for Aston! lol Should be really fast since they’ll only be small!

I think it will be a while before I make some for my son as he has size 11 feet!!

My dad has size 11 feet - I made him some socks.  Didn’t actually take that long to do.  As far as I know he still hasn’t worn them cuz he doesn’t want to ruin them!  Daft sod!

I like them Suse,lovely colour.

They are really really lovely, the colours are great! You make me want to knit socks ...! ah well maybe one day when i learn to use dpns!

I shall never knit socks either Gill,some are nice and tempting but no!!!!not for me.

I still maintain that there are much more interesting things to knit.

They are sooooooo portable tho!

Sash

Suse they’re lush!  Self striping or did you have to do the hard work yourself?  I have knitted a couple of pairs and did enjoy it - but have to say I cheated.  The lady who runs our knitting club devised a pattern which uses a circular needle rather than the DPNS.  Sash I agree they are SUPER portable, but the thing I REALLY love my knitted socks for - is the size of my feet.  I only in a kiddies 13.  (Stop sniggering at the back!) But knitting my own means I can try them on as I go so they are custom fit.  Which is great for me!!

If anyone wants me to email them a copy of the pattern I will gladly do so if you PM me.  Gotta find it first cos not knitted socks for a few months now....!

They look great Suse. Well done.

you should be called Cinderella!

The socks are in a Regia yarn, wool/cotton mix and are self striping. I haven’t got the nerve to do complicated socks yet.
