What a day it is today !
Actually, quite warm out, and the sun high in the sky, 1 o’clock p.m… perfect time to finish the first sock of two , and have it drying out on the line . . .
The blue summer sky with whispy clouds (clouds not in this photo) . Summer Sky socks for my sister-in-law (the one in Vancouver, who didn’t mention it , but I sensed a little bit of sock envy as I knit her father a pair the whole time I was there a couple of weeks ago ). I hope to have these on her feet by the Summer Soltice coming up.
Not just any sock, but once again, in my unrelenting quest for improvisation I went and striped everything, the heel flap , the everything ! And, did not follow a pattern folks . . .
I think I finally get sock knitting !
Okay, I’ve cast on and have started the second sock, so I better get busy !

Sock envy….I love it
🙂 xx
Pin striped socks! That is so much fun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Actually Carol, they are 2-row stripes ! 🙂 Pin-stripes didn’t work out in the heelflap, so I had to double up. I think I’ll knit a few more like this, though I am growing weary of knitting stripes in general, they are so fun to look at. xx
Oh I love it! So sweet, so precious, so much fun! You know, I’ve never finished a pair of socks! I’ve only halfway finished one. I love these though. lol. 🙂 xx
Martha… only a year ago I knit my first pair, I thought they were daunting task… something I could never do… that all other knitters do. They are so easy it’s not even funny ! 🙂 Thanks xx
Fabulous! I love that little cuff size especially in hot weather.
Exactly ! Summer socks !!! 🙂 My sister in law exclaimed to me that 1. she loves wool socks , and 2. that June is horribly cloudy and cold in June in Vancouver.
Morrie, have you seen all striped socks like these ? I looked on rav. and most have solid heels and toes… it was quite a trick to get the round-end in the middle of the heel flap, and well… it seemed odd to me. You’re the pro, what do you think of the round end mid heel flap?
They are great. LizSeville.wordpress.com Principally Felt
Thanks Liz ! 🙂
Cute, wee socks!
Lizzi, I’m presently , for the exercise of it, writing the ‘pattern’ for them. I will post another knitting party page for anybody who wants to knit them before I make it into a pattern. But this morning I’ve found a big error in my writing… so I’m a little frustrated for the moment. And I thank you for your constant praise. xxxx
I love your sock! I have a pair that have been sitting in my knitting basket for months – they are the “afterthought” heel pattern, and I just haven’t got round to doing the second heel!!
Hi Anne ! Thanks ! I’m about to finish the second sock, and post again ! 🙂
