This is my third attempt at knitting socks for the
Hogwart's sock swap. These are knitted in
selfstriping yarn using a pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks. I'm not 100% happy with these socks either. The pattern calls for a "forethought" heel and the stripes haven't joined in the best possible way. I can't do anything about it now as I must get the package off by the end of the week. On the plus side the yarn is from
Bright Dyes is a joy to work with and is machine washable too. Chrissy was extremely helpful – custom dying the yarn and posting it out by return. I will
definitely order yarn from her again.
I'm knitting these socks using the beautiful Crystal Palace bamboo needles I received in my sock swap. They are
soooo smooth and not too bendy. I hope they are charmed and will help me complete this pair with no more set backs.

I think the socks look great! I'm glad you are enjoying using the CP DPN's
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! To answer your question, I intend to knit outrageous socks with the left overs.
ReplyDeleteYour Ravenclaw socks look fab! I've just seen them modelled over at the Hogwarts Sock Swap. :-)
