These socks were lots of fun to knit. The pattern is from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks. I borrowed the book from my spinning guild, but I’m seriously considering buying it. The patterns are all very interesting and it has a lot of great information in the front about different kinds of toes and heels.
The yarn is from Miss Bab’s. I won the yarn in a contest she had when her online store first opened. I was so happy that I won because I ended up selling the two skeins of yarn I bought from her at SAFF in the Great Stash Sale for Tigger’s Vet Bills. The colorway is “Garden Rose” and it knit up beautifully, at first I was concerned about all the green, but it goes so well with the red. I am definitely going to stock up on her yarn at SAFF next year!
It took me forever to get photos I was happy with, but I think these will do.
I never realized how scuffed my shoes were until this photo!
Now somehow I created this weird effect when editing the photo. I thought it looked kind of cool.
