Koi socks

[crafty_packrat]

I finished these socks recently and wore them to Maryland Sheep and Wool yesterday.





The pattern is from The Eclectic Sole, which I think is a fantastic book, even if the heel in this particular pattern is a bit tight for me given that I have really big feet.

Very nice! How did you like working with the Silk Garden Sock? I've got a bunch of Silk Garden in various colorways with vague plans of using it for a couple of Lady Eleanor entrelac stoles, but I've not played with the sock version yet.

It has the usual problem of Noro -- randomly thick and thin with unexpected knots. I'm not going to wear these socks out much; they'll be house socks for cold days, primarily.

That is the beautiful, beautiful yarn. I love the way it catches the light. It looks like the pattern really works well with it, too.

Thank you. That pattern is designed for yarns with long color repeats. I think it might look really good in some of the Regia stripe variations, too.

Beautiful socks. And also, excellent music choice, haha. That is my second favorite song by that band.
