Happy Friday to all! I have a finished cheerful pair of springtime socks to share today!
Pattern: Toe Up Vanilla socks with afterthought heel over 68 stitches
Yarn: String Theory Colorworks Continuum in the Mandrake color way
Needles: US 1
These were part of my 2016 sock yarn experiment. I really enjoyed this yarn. The colors really popped and the fiber content of merino/cashmere/nylon was just buttery under my fingers! I will totally use this yarn again. And best of all…my stripes match!! I got a little off on the second heel but it’s still very close.
My only disappointment was that my afterthought heel was a bit snug. I worked it over 60% of the stitches but it still feels small. We will see how they wear. For now they are going into the drawer for next fall.
Happy Knitting!!

They look great. 🙂 Have a great weekend
i may have to look into this pattern. I own this yarn, on your recommendation and I have a narrow heel…could be they would work well for me. perhaps we’ll become sock sisters;-).
