Nothings beats finishing a pair of knee socks in the middle of one of the hottest weeks of the year. Ok, actually lots of things can beat that, like a cold drink or a swimming pool. But hey, if not to wear at least it’s a stunning pair to behold.
Pattern: Evening Stockings for a Young Lady by Nancy Bush
Yarn: The contrasting colour is leftover Sweet Fiber Super Sweet Sock and the gray is Schoppel Wolle Admiral
The reason I cast these on was because after finishing up my
Golden Leaves socks I figured I had enough of the beautiful yarn left to use it as a contrasting colour. And since there’s no way of doing any wrong with combining gray and yellow, and neither is it ever a bad idea to make knee socks, the idea for these came to life.
This was such an easy pair to knit, the lace pattern is easy to memorise, and it does go on for ages. I actually get a lot of wear out of knee socks, because most of winter I’m a boots person. I can imagine the splash of yellow popping out of the top of a pair of boots is going to look awesome.
Those are absolutely lovely! I adore the grey and yellow together-those are going to be such a treat this fall and winter!
You have got to be feeling really great finishing up such an ambitious project! I’ll bet there are as many stitches in those socks as there would be in a sweater.
I have been looking forward to seeing these socks for so long and I love them! The colours work so well together. Shame it’s so hot right now. 😉
These are gorgeous! And you photography is amazing! Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration!
Beautiful socks! And the contrasting colours are absolutely spot on 🙂 jenny xx
You make the cutest socks! Oh, these colors are just perfect!
Those are so awesome! I want to copycat them for myself.
They are beautiful! I should think about making some knee socks too.
Beautiful! I am so in love with these! The yellow and gold combination is a winner every time. Love the lace pattern, too.
you are so right….grey and yellow is a perfect combination in ANYTHING!!! Love these….and that photo in the mirror is great!
Do beautiful!! I love the ‘grellow’ combo, and the lace detail is really awesome. And sure, it’s crazy hot now… but in a month we’ll all be signing a different tune.
