Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

Piglottie · Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:27 pm Post subject: I will finish them this month!

This is the pair I think I started in June for a friend's birthday and I have to get them finished this month to be in time for her birthday. It is Anni's Falling in Love pattern using the Yarn Yard December club yarn (which is much more purpley than this shot). My dislike of toe up has been mentioned many times previously so I wont go on Very Happy

, but it has ruined the joy of this wonderful pattern for me and these have become a bit of a chore because of it Sad

I shall be glad to finish them although I would love to knit this pattern again but cuff down Smile

Here's a shot to try and show the love hearts (sorry, difficult to photograph one handed).

PL, the socks are just stunning! You have my complete and utter respect for knitting toe-up - at least now you've tried it and you know you don't like it so you can base any future decisions on your direct experience. Whereas I haven't even attempted it because it scares me too much Embarassed

And well done too for being determined to finish them despite not enjoying it, I'd have given in and frogged them.

You're over halfway there so not much more to go! We're all willing you on! They will be so worth it when they're done. I'm sure your friend will be utterly delighted with them, they're gorgeous Very Happy

They look fab. You should be proud of them. I love the pattern but would it work the same in a cuff down???

I'm sure they will be, your friend will adore them....and I'm with you on toe up...it's not for me. I can't seem to find a toe that I like yet. One day when I'm grown up, maybe I'll be able to do them this way too Wink
