Anthracite – FO 16/2012Anthracite – FO 16/2012

June 25, 2012

I always said I’d never knit socks again.

Yeah…how’s that working out for you, Evie?

I blame The Husband…of course.

He loves hand knitted socks.

And Liz and Lara Croft for indulging him with beautiful handknitted birthday socks.

What’s a girl to do?

Knit socks for her man, of course!

Yarn : Design Line by Kaffe Fassett for Regia

Colourway : Anthracite

Pattern : Regia’s basic sock pattern

He’s already eyeing up other colours.  I see more socks in my future (and his!).

And just to clarify…The Husband doesn’t normally wander around with his jeans rolled up in this unfortunate manner.

I made him do it for the camera!

    Ooh, they´re lovely! Have never knitted socks but I know Big Man would love some for the cold winter nights (and days). Are they very difficult?

      Actually they are really quite straightforward. Socks were the first thing I ever knitted on double pointed needles and found them super easy. This don’t have a complicated heel which makes life easier. I can send you a copy of the pattern if you’d like?

      Thank you. They are even better in real life…the colours are so gorgeous. And the yarn is lovely to knit with.

Hi there,
I'm Evie and I knit, stitch, spin and sew.
With varying degrees of success!
But always with my family around me in our little town in the North of England.
Grab a brew and stay a while.
