Another pair finished brings my total number of hand-knitted socks to 15.
Stitch Pattern: Basket weave rib worked on 64 stitches, short-row heels and toes
Pattern Book: Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: JaWoll Cotton Superwash (49% wool, 35% cotton, 16% nylon)
Color: 8872
Needles: US 1 DPNs
Each ball of JaWoll sock yarn comes with a spool of reinforcement thread. I've never thought it necessary to reinforce the heels and toes of socks, but since it was included, I used it. It created a nice tight fabric that should wear well.
The next pair of summer socks is already on the needles. More on those later.
Those socks look great! I love all of the basketweave variations, and I don't think that I've run across this one before. That's a really pretty color too!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the basketweave pattern – on anything! Socks, dishcloths, blankets, you name it. Yours are spectactular and the color is lovely, as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! It looks great with the yarn, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks!!
ReplyDeletei love the basketweave pattern! in fact i have a skein of yarn waiting to bit knit into a pair of basketweave socks -- the pattern is so classic.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I wish I had an easier time with those shortrow heels...I love the way they look.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite sock book, Tracy? You always knit such beautiful ones.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I need some motivation I'm still on sock #4.
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great! I almost signed up for a lace sock class but I ended up signing up for a lace shawl class instead. I hate having to choose!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the socks! It really made me envious that someone is actually finishing a pair! I might just have to hunker down and finish the legacy socks I have been working on FOREVER!!!!Thanks for the inspiration/motivation!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful socks. The stitch pattern highlights the beauty of the yarn, and its glorious color.
