FO – Retro Rib Socks

Whew!  I’m not sure why this pair took me so long to finish, but finish I finally did.  These were started waaayyyy back on April 4.  All done and they will have to go into a drawer to wait until next fall to wear.  The toasty wool/mohair blend means they are far too warm to wear now.IMG_6304I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I like this fiber blend in Mountain Colors Bearfoot yarn.  It is a joy to work with.

I ran into a few knots in this skein.  None were big huge knots – just a knot in one of the plies – but they were enough to make me cut the yarn and start over.  A little irritating but worth it in the end.

I modified the pattern slightly to center the pattern on the foot better – details here.

This pattern is in Favorite Socks.  I just realized that I may have knit more socks from this book than any other:

  • Retro Rib Socks
  • Uptown Boot Socks – twice
  • Merino Lace Socks
  • Padded Footlets – twice
  • Mock Wave Cable Socks
  • Undulating Rib Socks - twice

What’s next on the home needles?  Not sure yet.  Stay tuned.

    Love seeing all the pictures of all the socks together. So beautiful -- and good photos, too. I'd kind of forgotten about those acid-y green ones. I really like that pattern.

    I may have mentioned this in a Flickr comment, but that Bearfoot yarn (was the color "chokecherry"?) is goregeous
