Mosaic or Slip Stich knitting

Just finishing up this Mosaic Sock...Interesting that I discovered while knitting this pair that the best heel to use was the "Afterthought" heel technique. I also. through trial and error that you can knit a nice rib pattern for the back of the heel. That makes the fit that much more snug and frankly I don't think I would use any other heel style while knitting an all over patterned sock that I don't want to interrupt the pattern....possibly stripe sock as well. It is a nice change to the basic flap heel.

Fair Isle Border Socks Completed!

And finally finished them...They turned out really wonderful and hopefully they will sell in my shop. Good thing I got these done as got 3 orders for the Scrunch Socks....it must be coming into Christmas  as I seem to get orders for the Scrunch Socks around this time. You would think I would know better and just stock load the Scrunch socks but alas the orders are for custom socks so the fit has to be correct. I am on it now!

The Board Sock...Navy, gray and white. Love the pattern.

Custom Wedding Socks

Received a request from a woman in TX for a pair of socks for her wedding. She wanted her new name to be on the cuffs of the socks...so pictured are the cuffs. I have to knit these in the next 4 days to get them to her in time. They are a lace sock with yellow hearts on the heels. She is wearing them in boots but taking the boots off as a surprise  after the ceremony. Not a bad idea but wish I had more time to work on them. As it is the works are just block letters and really could be more fancy if I had the time to design them....oh well, I think they will be a fun pair for a wedding.

Cuffs with names.....hmmmmm
