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?
Ooh, yes please! I´ll be spending some time int he UK soon, so this will be a good little portable project for me 🙂
I shall get it scanned and email it across to you.
Thank you – but no rush!
wow, they’re wonderful. Great colour
Thank you. They are even better in real life…the colours are so gorgeous. And the yarn is lovely to knit with.
