Summer Socks

Summer Socks, originally uploaded by Beatrixknits.

Made with Plymouth Sockotta Bold Stripe Effect no. 5612. 76 sts CO size US1 DPNs. Short row heel and star toe from Sensational Knitted Socks book. The stripes are pretty but this isn't my favorite sock yarn. It is too stiff.

Random Rainbow Trekking Socks

These socks were made using Trekking XXL sock yarn color 100. I usually like my socks to match...but it was impossible with this yarn! I do, however, like the way the colors change through the four plies creating unpredictable stripes. They have a 76 stitch CO picot edge, size US1/2.25mm DPNs, Welsh heels, and Star Toe of 4 points.

A Roll in the Hay Socks


A Roll in the Hay Socks, originally uploaded by Beatrixknits.

These socks were made by following the pattern for "A Roll in the Hay" by Gina House from the book "The Joy of Sox" by Linda Kopp. I made them with Mini Mochi sock yarn color 104 Fern Rainbow. Although this yarn is ridiculously soft and squishy, I am not sure I would buy it again. There were too many breaks in the yarn to make matching socks.

This is a coin purse/credit card case I recently made from a Stitch&Zip pre-assembled needlepoint kit. SZ180 Black Butterfly. I decided to line it with matching fabric to give it a more finished look.

Water nymph window and socks!


Water nymph window, originally uploaded by Beatrixknits.
















Pattern from Paton's Socks in the City booklet: Feather and Fan Socks. Short-row heel and star toe are from Sensational Knitted Socks book. After I knit the socks they reminded me of the colors in the Water Nymph windows at Victoria Baths! They were really fun to make with 7 different kinds of sock yarn! Even weaving in the ends was fun using Swiss darning.
