FO Friday - Gentleman Socks!
Yarn: Trekking XXL, Color 101
Needles: 2 - 16″ 2.5mm Addi Turbos
Direction: Cuff Down
Designer: Me
Pattern Source: DK Gentleman Socks - FREE
A-Longs: Trek-A-Long With Me
Recipient: Originally intended for DH, but rib is stiffer and didn’t fit DH, so ME! :-) I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear!
NOTES: I *love* these socks! I love the look of them. I love how pretty much everyone who sees them loves them. The traveling stitches do slow me down and tightened the rib up some. The anal part of me *really* wanted to make the diagonals go the other direction on the other sock, but it would have been even more fiddly to travel stitches the other direction. I suppose I could do one cuff down and one toe-up to get the diagonals to go the same direction with the same needle movements, but they probably wouldn’t match as well that way either. Who knows!
Remember, if you knit any of my patterns (free or otherwise), please share them with me so I can share them with others. It is so fun to see patterns done in different yarns and see adjustments you all make to have them work with your gauge etc. If you have a blog, just send me an e-mail (fiberfool at gmail) with a link. If you do not have a blog feel free to send me pics and I’ll post them here with your credit.
Speaking of seeing FOs from my patterns, while I was gone last week Mim finished a pair of Spearfish socks in charcoal GEMS Opal yarn and they are gorgeous! Go check them out!
