Summer of Socks 2008 ONE

The first pair of socks for Summer of Socks are knitted in Sunshine Yarns Sportweight: Field of Flowers. I used 2.75mm needles and knitted a plain sock and tried a Eye of Partridge Heel for the first time ever. I think it really suited this particular yarn :)


Eye of Partridge Heel detail, perfect with this particular yarn :)

My sister-in-law bagged these when she saw me knitting them early on. It was her Birthday so why not :)

Socks in progress.........

The first of my Summer of Socks 2008 socks. They are lovely and bright! My sister-in-law has laid claim to them........already :) My first Eye of Partridge Heel, not perfect but nearly.........


A bit more done on the Rivendell sock.....

Wet June Saturdays.......

A new yarn arrived this morning which is a fortuitous arrival as Summer of Socks 2008 starts today. I have to put aside all the half pairs until Sept! and knit as many socks this summer as I can. I am not going to only do that mind you and I didn't sign up for the competitons since I just couldn't compete with knitters who don't have full-time work/family/caring commitments or a combination of these and still enjoy the summer. So I'm signed up but for fun only. In the spirit of the special event starting however I will knit one pair with this lovely yarn first. Sunshine Yarns Sport: Superwash merino in Field of Flowers.






I have been making progress on these other socks. I am on the straight portion of the foot now :) I feel compelled to finish these, do you blame me.......
