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