This time it's a hybrid! Using the traveling vines pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks
which I combined with my favorite short row heel and toe from the Nutkin pattern to make this lovely lacy sock. I'm really enjoying sock knitting now...but one thing I'm not so happy about is that sock knitting with size 2 needles is very slow knitting! Now off to start the second sock...no second sock syndrome for me!happy knitting :)
Oh, Oh, Oh....I love this sock. Okay, I must find out all about this short row heel...I have so much to learn about socks but I am so loving it. I can't wait to make more.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a bigger yarn so I don't have to use such small needles.
Okay...going to look at some more socks.
Hugs!
*I did cast on the second sock today..don't want that 2nd Sock Syndrome. :)
Very very nice! I like the color a lot, too!
ReplyDeleteYou are a fantastic sock knittier. I love your socks. And yes, don't let yourself fall to the SSS, it is a terrible thing ... trust me.
ReplyDeleteoooh, very nice! i hope you'll model them on your feet once you finish the second sock... i think socks are so much more impressive on feet. : )
ReplyDeleteI love that sock too, Pink especially. Can this pattern be done with a self striping or variegated sock yarn too or only a solid color?
ReplyDeleteI just got 7 new skeins of sock yarn but no solid colors and I want to try a new sock pattern for my second pair.
Those are so pretty!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI've been itching to start some socks but this just hasn't been a good week for it!
Simply gorgeous - I just love that sock!
ReplyDeleteso nice. what it must be like to improvise on socks...
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely sock! It might be slow knitting, but it's always worth it. I like to knit my socks with 2mm or 2.25mm the best.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was "That was fast!" Then I read further and saw that you thought it went slowly.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of socks on my knitting horizon. My wip is on hold until I can replace a needle.
To fight off withdrawal I'm playing PC games and reading.
Beautiful sock! But if you think that size 2US needles are slow going, you should try socks on size 0US. They're torture, I tell ya. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely beautiful! Sometimes being creative and mixing patterns can have a truly stunning result!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Good for you for fearlessly mixing things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe sock knitting on tiny needles -- I'm beginning to think those small needles are harder on the hands than larger ones. Sigh. I love me my sock knitting.
Ohh! Pretty pink socks!
ReplyDeleteI need to finish my dad's socks, too!
Ang
these are so pretty, glad you cast on the second one, I make myself do it immediately I finish the first one!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! If you're a slow sock knitter, then that makes me... a really slow sock knitter. :) Very pretty sock you've got there!
ReplyDeleteOh another great pair. I love the colors also.
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!
Very pretty - great pattern! Isn't it nice when you can find a toe or heel pattern you like and start using it all the time?
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty! You know you're a good sock knitter when you can mix and match parts of the pattern. I'm impressed that you do not suffer from second sock syndrome! You'll be done in no time.
ReplyDeleteOh-so-lovely!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the size 2 needles... very slow indeed.
OOOOH I love your sock, and the color is just beautiful. Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! I've never done a short row heel......I'm thinking I need to make a pair of socks to try it! (But I usually have a major case of SSS - second sock syndrome!)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love them! The color is beautiful, and it really shows off the pattern.
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant it. :)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteCome sit beside me and teach me to now to knit socks....it's on my list of things I want to learn how to do. Somehow the list keeps growing.
Loved the idea of using the plastic grocery bags to knit something Now I have to add that to my list of things I want to make.
Stop in for a visit, I'm pouring wine at 5, there's room for one more.

That's the prettiest sock I've ever seen! A lovely combination of the best techniques in sock knitting. I'm in awe of the toes and heels as I look at the enlarged view. You're definitely a sock knitter, and a good one at that! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a new net service, can't even figure out my email, yet, but here, anyways.
You make beautiful socks. Thank you for turning me onto that sock book and her first one, too. I am now a committed sock-a-holic. My little bag of sock in progress goes every where with me. Also, thank you for your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks!! The color is beautiful! What yarn is it?
ReplyDeleteBoth the Nutkin and Traveling Vine socks are beautiful. I still have yet to try socks. Know how you feel knitting with US2 needles, cuz I used that for my mitts, seemed to take forever. I can imagine how much more time it must take for socks because they are much longer than mitts.
ReplyDeletecolor, pattern, knitting...all beautiful! nice work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing looking socks! I love how the pattern stands out so beautifully with that color! Size 2 ndls are about as small as I like to go; I can hardly believe there are people out there who knit socks with 00's (!)
