Winter Frost Socks - Without Beads


Here is a pair of socks just completed in my Winter Frost Socks Pattern (free on Ravelry). This one is done without beading, and is knit using Elann "Sock It To Me" yarn in Colour #44219.

Although the socks look more blue in this photo, the yarn is actually a lovely Teal. This pair took 344 yards, using 2.25 dpns.

Garter Stitch Rib Socks in Trekking XXL


Just finished these socks, 346 yards of yarn used, 6 inch cuffs, done on 4 dpns size 2.25. Colour #172 - Trekking XXL yarn.

I really love Trekking XXL yarns. The colours just sort of flow nicely in my opinion and it is great to work with. Alas, this was my last ball of Trekking XXL from my stash. I know it won't be long before more wonderful colours find their way to my house.

Bluebell Rib Socks



Just finished my Bluebell Rib Pattern Socks, knit using Paton's Stretch Yarn, and 2.25MM Dpns.
I liked this stretch yarn for these socks. It is a cotton blend. The Bluebell Rib is such an easy pattern repeat, it makes these a quick knit.
