I no sooner finished one pair of the delightful Slipped Stitch Socks when I cast on and knit away on the second pair!
Of course, the socks are fast because they are shorties but it is also a fun pattern to clip away on with such luxury yarn! I like the way the slipped stitches even show up on a busy yarn! Yay!
I wish you could feel the softness but since you can't, I will give you a close-up of the yarn and stitch definition!

(So, Dee, is this your idea for the pattern? I would love to give credit where it is due. )
So pretty! It is neat how well that pattern shows up, when so many patterns wouldn't be able to compete with such a lively yarn. Fun!
ReplyDeleteNice! Nothing feels better on your feet than Valerie's yarn. It wears so well too. Worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteI might have suggested Pin Striped. But I'm not sure. In any case that is a BEAUTIFUL pair of socks. The yarn is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteGreat socks. Dee has every sock pattern known to knitters I think.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet sock pattern. Those slipped stitches really do stand out!
ReplyDeleteThey knit up beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI made a pair in January and LOVED Dee's amazing pattern!! Your second pair looks wonderful ! I love shorty socks too
