Are we there yet? Seafoam Socks

Posted on March 15, 2009 | 16 Comments

I love how these turned out. Just the way I wanted…after much trial and error!

Seafoam Socks
2 skeins Mirasol Hacho, size 2 Lantern Moon ebony Sox Stix

See the waves? The bubbles? And the sea foam at the rippling edges? I like how the pattern doesn’t fight with the variegated yarn. I’m playing with different yarns and gauges to finish writing the pattern; it will be along soon. By the way, I’ve started a sock with the Butternut Woolens sock yarn. Gorgeous! But it’s pretty heavy for a fingering weight yarn. It actually feels heftier than the Hacho, which is listed as dk weight. Funny how fingering can feel thin, thick, or in-between!

    I don’t know what’s prettier, the socks or the beautiful Oregon sky.

    Great job matching the pattern and the yarn and it was genius to show them against the blue sky. I just want to know how you were posed.
