Thank you all for your kind comments and suggestions. Between you and my hubby’s support, I’m getting over being a pouting like brat. Not easy, but life goes on.
There is a silver lining to every cloud. Since I was avoiding the internet, I used the time I normally waste cruising Ravelry, blogs and yarn shops to finish my first sock design.
May I present to you The Victorian Rose Socks?
Knit from the cuff-down using a rose trellis lace with nips to give the appearance of rose blooms that change to vine lace across the leg. The socks shown are knit out of Dream in Color Starry on size 1.5 US (2.50mm) needles in Size L. Better pictures are forthcoming as soon as I can round up Las for a photo shoot since I knit them for her since I wasn’t sure there would be enough yarn for my size 12. Size L socks left plenty of yarn leftover, 25 grams out of a 113 gram skein so someone should be able to get a pair out of a 3.5 oz skein easily.
As this is my first design, I’m looking for a few test knitters to knit the pattern to ensure there is no errors and the pattern makes sense. If you are interested in testing knitting, please leave me a comment in the comment section and I will get back to you. Once I get this design test knitted, I will be putting it up for sale on Ravelry to help pay for The Sassy Sheep bandwidth.
Another gorgeous addition to the “Winter of Textured Knits” wrap up!
Well done!
