Pattern: Spring Fern by Susan Lutsky
Yarn: Snail Yarn sock yarn in Wildflowers colourway
When I first cast these on quite a few people remarked that the socks were knitting up a lot greener than the caked up yarn would suggest. In the end it did turn out the second part of the skein was a bit more wildflower than the first and each sock has a slightly different colour accent. I’m never a stickler for identical socks so I love this a lot!
I’ve already raved a lot about this yarn but I really can’t say enough positive things. I mean just look at those colours! The way this is dyed up is really a piece of art. Luckily for me I have another Snail Yarn skein waiting for me in my stash to get working with.
The pattern is perfect if you are looking for a pretty lace sock pattern with an easy to memorise repeat. At first I was a little unsure about the combination between yarn and pattern but I think the combination works pretty nicely.
They are beautiful!
Thank you, I really love them! 🙂
love them!! the texture is out of this world ?
I agree,the texture is pretty special!
A fab FO, and I also think the yarn works very well with this pattern. The first socks I ever knitted were similarly lacy ones and they are great to knit because the patterns are easy to memorise and the final result is always stunning. I should get back to lace socks again sometime, I miss those.
You should indeed give them a try again! I think lace socks might be my favourite to knit exactly because of the reason of the easy to memorise pattern repeats.
I love that each one has a different dominant color!
I actually love that too, makes them that much more unique! 🙂
They are beautiful! The slightly different colours are amazing.
Also they just solved my problem, what socks to do next. Love those and couln not even wait until tomorrow to cast them on!
Yay, so happy to hear you’ll be knitting this pattern! 🙂
Those socks are lovely! I love the color difference between the two 🙂
Thanks Kat, I also adore the colour difference between the two 🙂
those socks are quite beautiful!!!
Thanks Karen! 🙂
Hi. I come to you via My Sister’s Knitter.
What a lovely pattern. I’m often hesitant to use multi-colored yarn with lace, but this combination worked out well.
I’d normally also take a ‘tamer’ yarn for such a pattern, but I think some experimenting paid off in this case 🙂
Gorgeous! That colourway is so pretty and pairs perfectly with the lace pattern. And can I just say that you take the BEST sock pictures! Total eye candy 🙂
Ooh thanks so much! I actually always have a lot of fun taking pictures of sock FOs 😀
those are beautiful!! I love the subtle colours, they are like a Monet painting. And the lace seems perfect for summer.
Lovely socks!!!
