Finally Posted in Ravelry Cable Link Rib Sock

And just posted the sock pattern that I have been working on and hope that it is received well. Very simple pattern and I would rate it easy but not beginner sock. Yarn was the Knit Pick Gloss (Merino and Silk) but had done this sock using Lorna Laces Shepard Sock Yarn. Any Fingering weight should be fine for this pattern. I have not posted on Etsy as yet but will after a week or so. want to see the reaction to the pattern or if it gets any reaction. But it is done and I do like the results.

Sample pattern posting.

Finally Link Cable Sock

Link Cable and Rib Sock

So finally the pattern is done...took a while with Scrunch Socks thrown in between a custom order but I think it is finally done. A big thank you to Patrick Williams-Pittard https://www.etsy.com/shop/QuiltingGuys who's friend Alex is testing the pattern for me before I post it. This is a Side Link Cable and Rib Sock for men. I love the feel of this particular yarn I used... Knit Picks Gloss Fingering Weight, Merino/Silk. Really a great feel, soft and smooth. This has to be hand washed and layed flat to dry... Hoping to get the pattern up soon.

Writing Pattern for Side Cable Link sock

I have been working on a sock pattern that has taken a while but close to finishing it. Need to knit another pair to make sure...but got an order for a Scrunch Sock from a  man in Australia. Yikes! Need to knit up a pair and then will finish the pattern. Patterns are tough to do as with me I am always making little changes and can't just use things on previous patterns. This one will be really good I think and hopefully easy for anyone to knit. Stay tuned!

Recycled Cashmere Yarn

I recently purchased from Thoughtful Rose Supply on Etsy. A shop that reclaims yarns from sweaters and other knitted items. This was a lace weight cashmere yarn...very fine. I am knitting using 2 strains of it. It is so fine that this pair of socks will be very thin in feeling but because it is cashmere will be very warm to wear. The thinnest of the sock makes it ideal to wear in shoes that require a finer weighted sock. The color is celery green and although it make take a bit longer to knit these socks, I am loving the very fine feel. I am using a pattern of purl lines to create a repeat diamond pattern. Wanted something subtle and I think these will be really very nice. The needles I am using are #0 (2.00 mm). I like to knit with small needles but this is probably the finest that I have knitted with.

Knitting with 2 strands.

Really beautiful diamond pattern.

Eyelet Lace Socks

I have always loved eyelet lace and came across a knitting pattern for knitted eyelet lace. I thought maybe I could combine the stitch into a sock and this was the result. Knitted using #1 (2.25mm) needles and Lorna Laces Sock Yarn (variegated "Magnificent Mile" yellows and very subtle)
Came out really nicely and actually am knitting another pair as I wanted to do a different toe and heel than these. Hoping to put these on paper some day....

Alpaca Cable Socks

And today sold the Alpaca Cable Socks easy.com to a woman in CA. I really love the feel of this yarn and the very fine weight. HandsomeFibers.com is the shop and Jo March Lace  is the yarn. Really a perfect fine yarn for intricate patterns. Working on an eyelet lace pattern that would be great with this yarn...we will see. A bit pricey yarn but worth it.

Side Link Cable Sock with Ribs

Detail heel and cable.

Today posted new sock...actually had knitted this style for my husband a couple of years ago and he liked them for the snug feel. They are ribbed with side link cable running down the side. Lorna Laces Shepard Sock Yarn...my favorite knitted on #1 (2.50) needles. Heel is flat, no ribs...Really a wonderful sock.
