After struggling through a pattern and knitting style I wasn't quite comfortable with, I found one I cannot put down. The first of my Opposites Attract socks truthfully felt like a chore. While I love the finished sock, the toe up method has proven to be uncomfortable to me. I started my second sock in Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman and couldn't be happier. The 6 stitch cable is a little bit of interest while the colors of the yarn are allowed to float through the solid body of the sock. What a great match.
I love close up photos of knitted items.
Especially a neat & tidy toe.
My Mothers Day coffee mug has turned into my new yarn bowl.
Sweet little cables make my heart sing.
I'm joining Jinny, Tami & KCCO today. I can't wait to see what everyone else has on their needles this week!
Later!

I'm a cuff down sock lover so toe up hurts my head just thinking about it :) lovely socks and I love your new mug!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I can knit cuff down socks "with my eyes closed". Perhaps I need to challenge myself more often with toe up socks.
DeleteSuch a lovely calming colour yarn you are using. Popping over from Keep Calm Craft on

Candace, thanks for your visit!
DeleteVery cute! I love cables! I need to finish my naive socks :)
ReplyDeleteGah! Thanks for the yarn! I love it!
DeleteI love the colors. Very complimentary. I am doing my first pair of toe up socks and while I don't think I'll knit every pair like that, I don't mind it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. It feels good to step 'out of the box' every once in a while. It keeps me from knitting the same thing over and over. Thanks for your visit Donna!
DeleteThat pattern on has been on my queue for ages ~ lovely to see yours knitting up so nicely!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is so simple. When you DO eventually make them, please share your project!
DeleteGreat socks!
