Finished Sockapalooza Sock - Spring Blossom

Published by whichy at 2:53 pm under Finished Projects, Sockapalooza, Socks

Sockapalooza Spring Blossom Sock

Started: July 13th, 2007,
Finished: August 8th, 2007
Pattern: My Own Eclectic combo - Magic Cast-On, Misocrafty/Wendy Short Row Heel, My own Slipstitch leg, 1×1 ribbing, 2 row cast-off
Yarn: Koigu 2 colors a green a brown blend, and a pink and green blend

Needles: Sizes 0,1 and 2 to handle leg increases Addi Turbo, and KnitPicks circs
Dimensions: To fit a 10.5″ foot with a 10″ width and a wide ankle

Outside of the size these were easy to knit, although there was quite a bit of trial and error as I got the leg pattern and color swapping worked out. I am not sure I would use the cast-off again, one time it might have been a bit tighter than I wanted, the other a bit looser. As always the koigu is a dream to knit with and very tolerant of my need to keep fixing things.

    Awesome! I thought that maybe, just maybe the yarn might be koigu, but I have never seen it in person before….until now! I feel so very lucky.

    Even with the AC turned on full blast, it’s too hot for wooly socks. Please let Autumn come quick and last a long time!

    Thanks a million!

    yeah its way too warm here for socks too - *pout* But never fear the fall is coming!

    Koigu is at this point my favorite yarn for socks - and as someone at stitches said - the skeins are like beanie babies, you always want to collect more of them . . .
