I've cast on yet another pair of socks. I hope you're not getting too bored with them! I saw this pattern linked to on Sarah's blog and as I was in the mood to start something new and had this yarn already wound into a ball I thought I'd give them a try :-)
The pattern is called Whiz Bang and is made using slipped stitches. It's also got some interesting toe shaping (I'm making the right foot) and a different heel to try as well. It's a very easy stitch pattern to remember too so they're just whizzing along (sorry I couldn't resist!).
In other news I've got a second poppy flower. After the first one was manhandled by my 4 year old and lost it's petals by the afternoon of the day it opened I've decided to keep her well away from this one and also to take a photo just in case. I do like poppies, especially those really big ones. Their petals are so thin and delicate :-)
Have a good weekend everyone. Linking up with Creative Friday
It's such a great pattern, isn't it? I'm loving the colours of your yarn - very pretty! And the poppy - gorgeous! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery cool pattern. I have to check it out. It looks good with those colors - they "pop" and I like it!
ReplyDeleteI love your poppy and your sock! That pattern is really interesting, but I have become quite a luddite in sock knitting -- really stuck on that slip-stitch heel. I know I should try something like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat GREAT colors! I've yet to crochet up socks, but it's on my list (with MANY other things)...
ReplyDeleteI LOL'd reading how the last poppy got manhandled by the toddler. They usually have good intentions but end up making a mess of things. I like those visible slip stitches in the sock.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of socks!! Those are fab!
