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!

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.

Braided Cable with Seed Stitches

In between my crazy orders for the Scrunch Socks I managed to post another sock. Using a beautiful yarn....Lorna Laces Shepherd Sock Yarn....really a medium priced yarn and best if you can get it on sale. Very nice fingering weight. I have knitted a few socks for my husband with this yarn and the oldest of the socks is 9 yrs and counting. They have held up really well and still have some nice give and softness. I would recommend this yarn for any project that requires fingering weight. I knitted these socks using #1 needles so that the knit was tight and helps for a much warmer sock...although does take a bit longer to knit I did the braided cable. Love the pattern.

Mitts and Socks To Do


These had been sitting in my shop for close to a year and finally sold. Must say I think because they are white, they are not as practical a pair of mitts but I do love this pattern in white and guess what....I will knit another white pair. I have almost caught up with my back orders. Two to go on the Scrunch Socks, one of them being the knee highs. Just waiting for the yarn. 
In mean time I am knitting a pair of Braided Cable Socks in a Lorna Laces Sock Yarn I got on sale. They are grey and really beautiful to touch and feel. Probably will up the price on them as well as Lorna Laces Yarns are not cheap but twice the price of my normal yarns even on sale! The yarn is finer quality and weight and I knit using #1 needles for a really fine knitted material. Takes a bit longer to knit because of the weight but really beautiful finish product. Just not sure what price to put on them.
