The Gladys Socks are finished;
I didn't enjoy them as much as I had the first time I made them
I think it has to do with the smaller needles and the tougher yarn;
Paton's Kroy is not as soft as KnitPicks Stroll.
They will make a very comfortable and warm pair of socks this winter, nonetheless.
I continued the center seed stitch area all the way to the tip of the toe!
These are top down socks over 64 stitches with a number 2.0 mm needles.
I used all but a few yards of each skein for the pair.
I cast on a pair of toe-up socks in the new Fall yarn,
Berrocco Comfort Sock which is a cotton/acrylic blend.
And right away, it was obvious the pattern I chose was a lot of work for little visual results.
I ripped back and am making it plain stockinette which will be a relief from all of the texture!
Oh. My. Goodness! I adore those socks. I can only imagine how much work they were. The new yarn is pretty too, but to do a lot of texture with it would be hard. You made a good decision there.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous socks!
ReplyDeleteLovely socks. Sometimes the less-soft yarn shows the patterns better (looking for a glimmer of hope!).
ReplyDeleteYour Gladys socks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI only did a portion of the pattern when I knit those socks. I did the part between the purl ridges.
I love the Gladys pattern. Like Dee, I only did a portion of the pattern though. Yours turned out great.
