What better way to start the new year than with a pair of knitted socks?
Where to begin with all the loveliness? Firstly the yarn of course! This was a Christmas present from Maria. We normally give each other something crafty for Christmas every year, and do I need to say that opening her gift is one of the highlights? Anyhow this time we ended up doing the Great Big Sock Yarn Swap, as I bought her sock yarn as well.
The beautiful skein I found under my tree is bought from Sam from Betsy Makes and is a superwash merino/nylon blend, in the colour Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. And fun it has been! A delight to knit with. And even more so for using Winwick Mum's (yes back to the experts again) Easy Cable Sock pattern. I did question the word easy, but as usual the patterns are great at explaining each step, so you don't feel daunted by them. Saying that, I still cannot help but being a bit amazed that I actually ended up getting the cables.... I also learnt a new heal stitch from this pattern, which turned out beautifully. I am very happy with these socks. A joy to knit and a joy to wear!
And lovely snowdrop! Even though we have frost on the lawn in the morning this beauty brings a promise of spring!
Comfy socks for happy feet ;)
SvaraRaderaHave a cozy weekend !

Your feet are getting the royalty treatment. Hand knit socks is pretty special. I like the idea of gifting each other yarn. That would be my favorite gift too. ♥
