Pretty, pretty socks . . .



Well, I've just finished my latest pair of socks using the Italian Chain Rib stitch. So pretty and feminine, and the lacy rib is so stretchy. I did a plain stockinette stitch heel flap so there would be nothing to distract from the beauty of the stitch pattern. Here's a photo of the completed socks. I'll work up the pattern and post a note about it here in a day or two letting you know where you can download it, if you like.


Now, it's on to work on the Candle Flame Shawl from my sock yarn remnants.


We're having a lazy Memorial Day holiday here. Art and Duncan just got back from a little tennis game, and the girls are just about ready for naptime. My next adventure involves working a bit more on the "clean out the office closet" project. I'd like to get that done today. Maybe.


Happy Memorial Day to all!

  6. Oooohhh...those are wonderful socks!! I love the perfect white lace. You did a beautiful job on them and please let us know if you plan to share the pattern.

    Also, I didn't know there was such a thing as a Bare Escentuals Addicts forum! I can't wait to check it out.

  8. Oh so pretty, I love them, I was just looking for a new lacy pattern to knit, might sound corny, but I am making bride and groom socks for a niece getting married and I think this will be purr-fect for the brides socks, thanks for sharing your pattern!
