As predicted, my weekend was filled with leafy knitting and it carried on until I finally finished the Embossed Leaves socks yesterday.
Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Favorite Socks
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Supersock in Loden
Needles: size 1US/2.25mm (2 circs)
Started: September 26, 2007
Finished: October 2, 2007
I’m pretty sure that I did more repeats then specified in the pattern. I didn’t really keep track though. I just knit until the length of the sock was what I wanted and the same for the length of the foot. I’m just not very scientific that way. :)
I did follow the pattern for the toe to the letter though as this was a new to me type of toe. I was a little concerned that I’d get confused since the pattern is written for DPNs. Luckily the pattern indicates how many stitches are on each needle, so I put a stitch marker to help guide me. I have to admit I now feel a little silly for being so worried about such a small detail as that.
I did have some misgivings as to how these would socks would fit, but I love the fit of these socks! They’re not too snug, but they don’t exactly slouch either. They feel just right.
And I love this yarn! It’s so soft and squishy that I just like to hold the socks in my hands and squeeze them. Boy, does that sound dirty. I’m a dirty squeezer of socks.
To distract you from my perversions, I give you a Quincy shot. It’s not the best picture of him, but maybe this will help erase the mental image of my bizarre sock squeezing.
