Crosshatch Lace Socks


Pattern: Crosshatch Lace Socks
From: More Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM
Colour: P450
Needles: 2.5mm Clover Bamboo DPNs

These are my first finished pair of socks for 2008! In a previous post I mentioned that I wasn't too keen on the way the yarn was knitting up (I don't like the pooling of the purple and blue) but I am pleased with the finished socks and I think they have grown on me. I did start knitting these socks with a 60st cast on but they seemed really tight and I had made a mistake in the pattern so I frogged them and cast on 72sts (the next size in the book). They fit a treat so I'm happy the frogging was worth it. I really like the pattern so I may knit it again but there are lots of interesting patterns in More Sensational Knitted Socks that I may have to knit first ;-)

See, despite your reservations these turned out absolutely fantastic! The yarn and the pattern work brilliantly together.

They are absolutely gorgeous! I love this pattern. I think the patterns in MSKS seem better than SKS (which I have yet to use).

They do look fantastic--I guess that's proof that sometimes you just have to keep knitting and hope it turns out. =D
