Ta Da ! I actually have socks for April . I've been sidetracked by so many things this month that I wasn't sure if they would be finished on time . The pattern is Waving Rib by Charlene Schurch . I enjoyed knitting them but was underwhelmed by the yarn (OnLine Supersocke 100 Alpaka ) because there were no less than 5 places where the yarn had been broken and then knotted together . For the most part it didn't disrupt the colour sequence , except for one spot , so I didn't try to match them up , something I don't usually do .Guess I just got unlucky . But hey , sometimes you have to just go with the flow .
Only one pair of socks finished this month. These are just plain old 60st vanilla socks done in an ankle version knit with four leftover colorways of Kroy sock yarn. Started March 24 and finished April 6. Details here.
Checking in again in April with another pair of SockMadness6-socks, the third official round was staring "I want to beleaf", and I made it to the next round so now I'm just waiting for the very last person to finish round three so we can get new specs and a new pattern... Probably won't happen until May though, so here're my April-socks.
These Basic Cabled Socks were knit for my daughter out of Sundara Yarn sock weight. The color is a pretty light lavender gray called Winter Skies. I used size 2.25 mm double point needles.
...again a pattern by Regina Satta. I really love the patterns that are easy to remember while traveling or getting to work in the train... The yarn is handdyed Opal - it´s gorgeous in springtime!
Heleconia Socks by Adrienne Fong. They are made with Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Tuscany colorway. They were knit for my daughter who has always wanted to go to Tuscany!
I used two circular needles, 2.25 mm and made them 11" to fit her feet. She loved them!
These were actually supposed to be my February socks, but I sorta missed the deadline , life's like that . They were finally completed for this months' sock KAL .The pattern is Rosamond by Kate Blackburn . This is the second time that I've knit this pattern and it probably won't be the last . The yarn (Plymouth Yarns Zino ) doesn't really do it justice , though I do like the colours , a solid or semi-solid yarn would show up the pattern a little better . All in all I'm pretty happy with my new socks .
