Victorian Lace Socks Finished

I finished these socks last week but I didn't have time for blogging as I had the week off work and spent most of it Christmas shopping!! These are the Victorian Lace socks and the pattern is exclusive to members of the Six Sox Knit-a-long group. You can get the pattern by joining the group by going to Yahoo Groups. They have lots of fab sock patterns. I didn't do the short row toe and the 3 needle bind off that the pattern uses but instead did my own usual toe shaping and kitchenered the toe. The pattern had a funny stitch in it called a mini-melon. This was a first for me but it was quite easy to do as long as the stitches weren't too tight. I bought the yarn from an online store in Germany as I just couldn't find anyone in the UK that sold Regia Stretch. It was my first time knitting with Regia yarn and I really liked the way it felt. I must buy more for my stash !!!!
