I am so pleased with myself! I finished my first lace socks.
I bought this Fiber Trends Lupine Lace Sock pattern at the Stitch & Pitch.
Not too difficult, a good starter lace pattern. After a few mistakes on the cuff I was off and running. I finished the first one in about 3 days, the second took a little longer. I carried it around completed sans a closed toe for about a week. I just don’t get real jazzed about kitchener stitch.
And now here they are. I love them. I am casting on another pair in the STR Calico colorway. I also have cast on the Marina Piccola socks by Kate Gilbert. Kate is well known for her Clapotis pattern.
These socks are knit in STR colorway Scaponia
They look amazing! The lace looks great. I just finished a pair of simple ribbed socks with some Socks that Rock from my stash. (I know it’s a crime that I had 2 skeins in my stash.) My first sock didn’t have a toe for a week either. I finished it on a plane and couldn’t remember how to do kitchener. Of course, I couldn’t wait to start the second stock (being stuck on a plane helps you get over second sock syndrome). So I stuck the toe on scrap yarn and cast on.
Such pretty feet with gorgeous socks!!!
