My Conference Vanilla socks are finito!
Pattern: 74 stitch vanilla sock
Needle: US 0s
Yarn: Saki Bamboo in Crayon Box
I made these a bit taller than normal given the put up in the skein was generous. And these have the most negative ease I’ve ever put in a sock. They are quite snug and hopefully will stay up. I knit over 74 stitches but probably could have used 76 or 78. The afterthought heels are also a bit snug. Probably could have used a 60% heel versus my standard 50%. The cast off on one sock is pretty tight. It’s fine for now but may need redone, time will tell. Sigh, all silly little oops.
I adore the colors and the fabric this created. I’m anxious to see how the bamboo content holds out. But this blend was heavenly to knit with. I’m a little disappointed that little missteps added up and the socks aren’t “perfect” but I keep telling myself perfect isn’t everything. It’s all about character!
Happy Knitting!!
If they were perfect then we’d know you were not paying attention to the conference! Small price to pay for the benefit of knitting while you work!
They are super cute! I love the colors in your yarn.
Those colors hit all my favs!!!! Enjoy them.
Love these multicoloured beauties.. 👌👍
Fantastic colours indeed! I’m sure these socks will make you happy every time you wear them.
