The Results are Socks

 The machine knit tube over 60 needles has become a pair of socks!
These are customized socks for my oldest granddaughter, Abigail!
Made from two skeins (1 1/2 really) of KnitPicks Felici yarn in the Great Gatsby colorway.
Since this is still experimental to me,
I didn't think to repeat the colors to the right point to make
the socks matching but she won't mind, 
I hope! lol
I used the same knitting pattern to decrease the toes and heels-
Kitchener stitching to close both..
I have cast on a new pair of socks to be made by hand this time-
I am missing some fancy stitching!
I am knitting Gladys by General Hogbuffer.
The Flax colorway from  Paton Kroy yarn.
#1 needles (2.25mm) over 64 stitches.
More to come but if I go silent-
know I am well ;
just in the middle of a 
visit with Dorian!

  1. Nice socks! Stay safe. I've been glued to the TV all weekend. What a mess. Those videos out of the Bahamas are horrifying. Araignee

  4. Fun socks! Do you knit the heels and toes by hand? Send Dorian to the east; you don't need a visit!
