These are the socks I currently have on my needles. I had an eye on the pattern for a long time and finally got a chance to try it. It has an interesting construction and I think, is gorgeous. Only drawback is that it was a mystery pattern at Sock Knitter's Anonymous of two years past and is available in their thread and not like a separate pattern. On the designer's blog too, it is not in a complete pattern format. But charts are fairly easy to understand.
The yarn is Lana Grossa Meilenweit 50 cotton which I got in a RAK last month. My only concern is the sizing. Although it seems snug enough, I still worry about it being on the larger side.
I am really enjoying knitting right now, mashaAllah, because of my wonderful WIPs_ these socks and two projects from Coatimundi KAL.

That's really a special pattern, probably worth all the trouble to plow through the multi-part pattern.
ReplyDeleteI tend to find with cotton sock yarn I have to go down a needle size. Mine tend to come out large, and cotton's lack of springiness (even in a blend) doesn't help. Your socks do have cables and such, so that may draw them in as you go along.
I think they are stunning! I've really liked that pattern too, it is very intricate.
ReplyDeleteThose are going to be GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI love the design, can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteThese are such a pretty pattern! I'm looking forward to seeing them finished also.
