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.
