Another Pair of Socks

In my lack of blogging I didn't even hint to you all I was working on these socks!  One of my very favorite sock books is Favorite Socks. (I think I've made 8 patterns from it) While this pattern didn't jump off the page at me....maybe because I was lacking sport weight sock yarn....upon second thought I gave them a try and love the results!

These are made from the only yarn I bought over Christmas (but I did get some fiber that you all must see)  I got it from the Yarn Barn with I had the pleasure of visiting with my mom and grandma.  It was so fun...what an awesome store!  My mom left wanting to explore her "inner weaver" as she loved all the hand woven finished objects!!   

Okay, so here are the details:

Pattern:  Lace Cuff Anklets from Favorite Socks

Yarn:  Reynolds Soft Sea Wool

Needles: US 4, 3 and 2 DPN

Mods:  None.  I cast on for 56 stitches and with the thicker yarn they fit perfectly and went super fast!

This yarn is so soft and sproingy....I really enjoyed working with it!  I'm not sure how well it will wear....after wearing them all day yesterday the bottoms definitely showed wear and the heels pilled a little.  The yarn isn't superwash and has no nylon either.  Maybe someone else knows how it wears better than I do.  Even saying all of that....it was a true joy to knit with and the socks are very comfy!

More good math days....you must be praying hard for me.....off to work!
