Socks in progress...

Here is the pattern.

I decided to change it slightly since my yarn was finer than the Regia yarn called for. I cast on 72 sts (instead of 64) for the ribbing, then increased to 75 sts before starting the pattern which needs a mulitple of 5 sts. I also changed the pattern design just a little to this:

Round 1: as stated;
Round 2, 3, 4: Knit;
Round 5: as stated;
Round 6: Knit.

I knit a short row heel on 35 sts. (40% of total stitches)
The yarn is a Manor store brand (department store in Switzerland). I loved the heathery green and the fact that this yarn doesn't split and is nice to knit with. It's the first time I've used this yarn but I like it well enough to get more in other colours.

I've broken a cardinal rule with these socks>>> I knit only one instead of doing both at the same time!! Now I'll have to be a knitting maniac to finish the other sock before Monday when we start the KAL for a teddy bear. I won't even mention my other socks-in-progress. Yikes!! Think it's possible? Hmmm....

Yeah!! I did it!!

Just off the needles!!
BOY OH BOY they are ...... ummm ..... a loud fashion statement! ;o)

What else can one do with leftover sock yarn but make more socks! In these I used bits from two different balls of Bernat Sox and about 25 grams of Emu DK. I ribbed the entire cuff and instep and made a short row stockinette heel. They are very soft and comfy!
