I did the first of these in January and gave in completely to SSS  Embarassed   Found it in my knitting bag the other day and decided I couldn't live with taking more than a year to make a pair of socks!  Pair now complete  Very Happy

They're the Heartstrings Country Girl Sock pattern, lots of charts hence the delay  Rolling Eyes, and the yarn is Sunbeam St Ives sock yarn shade 3098, Heathland.

They are just stunning Cool Well worth finishing. I have fancied that pattern for ages FC but if it's taken you a year to make them I think they're a bit beyond me Laughing  Laughing

Thank you!   Very Happy

Pictish, it's actually a really straightforward pattern, I just got distracted into other projects.  Each sock only took me a few days, honest!  I'd say you should give it a try  Very Happy

That's a gorgeous pair of socks you've knitted.... well worth finishing the second sock for, as the pattern looks very pretty.  Very Happy
