socks - finished at last
Mar 1st, 2006 by Ginger
The socks from the January KAL, that I tried to finish for the February KAL are now finished . . . in March.
ÂÂ
Pattern: Child’s First Sock in Shell Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush, the toe is from the Knitting Pure & Simple Child’s Sock pattern.
Yarn: Plymouth Encore DK in 233 (lavendar) and a little bit of green from another skein when I ran out of the lavendar.
Needles: Clover Bamboo DPNs, US4
Start/finish: Jan 19 - March 1
Notes: I modified the original pattern to fit my daughter’s size 1 feet and the DK yarn. I cast on 40 - 5 repeats, in hindsight I wish I had used size US3 needles and one more repeat for a slightly firmer fabric. Next time I use this yarn I will do so. It was commented that I should consider ripping out the other toe and knitting it in green too, I may . . . but not today . . . today they are finished.
Woo-hoo!! :)
They are beautiful. Better late than never.
