I used my normal toe up pattern with 64 stitches on 2.0mm needles and a gusset heel but added in this simple cable
I knitted the cable stitches through the back loop to make them pop
The pattern I was inspired by is Socks on a Plane which is free on ravelry. The yarn is by Wharfedale Woolworks in a colourway appropriately called "Heatwave". This particular colourway has sold out but there's a gorgeous yarn called Firecracker that's quite similar ;-)
Have a good week everyone. I'm hoping ours ends better than it did last week. We've had a family member with health issues, a broken car and a dead hamster. Not very happy at all :-(
Oh bummers about the hamster that's passed. They are a tricky species and it's hard to know why it's died. Hope your ohana gets better soon and dang about the car. Vehicles are such a necessity.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are great! The color is fun and that cable is definitely an eye catcher.
Thank you :) With the hamster it was just old age. We rescued her from a tiny cage when she was an old lady so didn't think we'd have long with her anyway. We had just over 2 months with her in a huge cage with lots of love and tasty treats. Her passing was peaceful although still sad.
