They were finished in time to enter them in the CTnY monthly draw but unfortunately i was away from home at the end of January and completely forgot to enter them! Ah, well, at least i got them finished ;o)
The striping has come out very strangely. The first sock has striped with one row per colour but the second sock striped with two rows per colour! It's only noticeable on the foot and there is some rather pretty spiralling on the cuff and all in all i am very happy with them :oD
I have them entered in the Sockdown January draw in the Sock Knitter's Anonymous group on Ravelry and this is the first time i have taken part. I really enjoyed the challenge of finding the right pattern for the yarn and i think i have succeeded. The textured cuff breaks up the slight pooling and i love the stripey feet :oD
Project Details:
Pattern: Noviembre Socks
Yarn: Yarn Yard Bonny - Club yarn September 2007 ::blushing::
Needles: 2mm for the ribbing and feet (magic loop)
2.25mm for the cuff (dpns)
Mods: Firstly i cast on 70 stitches to allow for the thinner yarn weight used
Secondly i changed the rib as i didn’t like the 4st rib pattern which then went into a 5 stitch leg pattern, it didn’t flooooow! Rib was changed to Ktbl, P, K2, P (the same as the leg pattern)
Finally i added an extra inch of stocking stitch to the top of the short row heel as it’s too shallow for me otherwise ;o)
