Current Sock Projects

Here are a couple of photos of my current sock projects. The photos are not the best quality as I had to taken them in the evening and they usually come out much better if I take them in the daylight. The purple sock is just a basic plain sock pattern knitted with Opal Magic and the bottom photo is the Victorian Lace sock pattern knitted with Regia Stretch. It's the first time I've used Regia Stretch yarn and I liked the thickness of the yarn and they are knitting up nicely.

I finished these socks at the beginning of November but I forgot to post about them. I actually started these in July but moved on to other sock patterns and these were rather neglected! It has been really cold here lately and so I needed some nice thick socks to wear in bed!!!! As this yarn was slightly thicker than normal sock yarn I thought they'd make a nice pair of bed socks. I fished them out of the washing basket this morning when I remembered I hadn't taken a photograph of them. They are looking a little fluffy already but I have worn them a few times already. They are nice and comfy and warm so ideal for keeping my cold feet warm. My Mum bought the yarn for me in Austria so I don't know if it's available over here in the UK.
