They look lovely. And two pairs at once is such a good idea...no second sock syndrome.

That is a really lovely pattern.

Very Happy

I am still sulking over my pomatomus socks that I ended up frogging for various reasons (see my blog) I need to get back on that particular little horse and get going on them again.

it is called leaf and tendril from cat bordhi's socks soar on two circulars. it is very pretty but also quite annoying. this is my fifth attempt mainly because my friend (who i am making them for) has v small feet so i have had to adapt them

These are looking beautiful and how brave are you with the circular needle thing going on!! This was one of the patterns that PL pointed out when I was 'lost in space' the other day and I'd love to try it too sometime soon. Does it have to be done on circulars or do you think I could tackle it on dpns?

they are looking fantastic! I absolutely adore that colour - what yarn are you using? can't quite see the ballband (and yes, I've been squinting at it just to be sure, LOL! )

Wow. I bow to your ability with the circulars, I can't work them and make progress. They look like fab socks Smile

it isdiploma gold by patons the colour is a lovely pistachio green very springy.



i did try it on dpns for one of my versions before i frogged it for the third time and it was going really well it is just that my dpns gave me the wrong tension and they came up much too big

They look really good. Very Happy I've just ordered 1 really long circular needle today to have a go at the magic loop method. Very Happy I think 2 socks at the same time looks really complicated. Shocked
