My October socks are finished, and only a day late. (Started October 1, finished November 1)
Specs:
Pattern: Mingus by CookieA
Yarn: Very Berrytini by Yarntini (Obtained in a Rav destash)
Needles: 2.25mm Kollage Square DPNS
Mods: Just the shape of the toe. I like my toe a little more rounded than Cookie’s patterns, so I reduce the rows between the decreases. Otherwise, none!
I love the pattern! And the Yarntini yarn is perfect for it – lovely colour, lovely stitch definition. The only problem is that it’s not really designed for cankles. It’s lovely for anyone with normal sized ankle, but not me. Fortunately, these are destined for someone else’s feet.
So I cast on another pair of Cookie’s for me.
Twinkle Toes in Socks That Rock Heavyweight, colourway Jasper. Hopefully I’ll have no problem getting these done in a month!
Oh the pattern is just gorgeous and your stitches are so beautiful. MrsDrWho said my socks were very short, but I have ‘athletic calves'(!!) so I need shorter socks too.
Gorgeous socks, as always! I don’t know why I just can’t get into making socks. Every time I see yours I think I should give it another shot.
oh they are amazing! that yarntini stuff is something else. and not pink either (not that i dont like pink, just you have been making lots of pink lately. which is great, really, but sometimes a change is good…ok i’ll just shut up now!)and more cookie patterns i didnt know about, must go look….
Hey Donna – those socks looks really lovely! the lightly varigated yarn looks wonderful!
Very lovely!
BTW, how did the Noro go when washed?
I think you’ll have those Jasper socks finished within a week by the looks of it!!
Very pretty.
Beautiful!! I agree that the yarn is perfect for those socks. Don’t ya love it when it all comes together like that?
Such pretty socks – love the color, love the pattern – great job!
That is a gorgeous pair of socks!!! And I love the stitch definition too!! But isn’t it a little sad when the project is finished, we realised that it doesn’t fit us perfectly? That happens to a few pair of socks I knitted too 🙁
Ooooooo, nice-where’s Twinkie?
Your Mingus socks are gorgeous!!
I love the color & you are right about the stitch defination – great! Twinkle Toes looks good on your feet – lovely color. I can see you are in a sock knitting mood!
