Deja vu

No, your screen is not paying tricks on you and no I did not edit the photos toi 'create' knitting content... This is the same sock pattern as I'd previously posted. It's a moss stitch rib. 3 stitches knit followed by 3 stitched of moss... et voilą! This time, I used the Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in River and the purple.

Sometimes, you just have to do things more than once to prove that you can do it. Thanks to everyone who'd suggested that I try the cuff in the contrasting yarn to eke out a sock using a skein of Lorna's Laces. As I'd mentioned to Mary earlier today, when you buy 2 skeins of yarn to make a pair of socks, you tend to have enough for toes and heels, but doing the cuff might push it... so I wanted to try this just to prove that it can be done.



..Mossy..

See, no cheating on the toes.


..Mossy..


See how well matched the foot of these socks are? Look at the patterning on the gusset... amazing. this never happens to on with hand-painted yarns and I wasn't even trying to match them.


..Mossy..


See the echoing splodge at this side of the sock.


..Mossy..

Here's the artistic shot.... I have another even more artistic shot that I'll show sometime in the future.

Beautiful socks. Are you using Lorna's Laces yarn for the contrasting color or something else?

Beautiful socks, such glorious colours. How on earth did you manage to get them so identical?

Georgeous as usual, is this one of your own patterns?

Happy Christmas, keep it coming in 2006

They look lovely. With such well-dressed feet it would be shame to wear shoes.

I think you must be magic! The striping matches so perfectly and without trying. I really love the colors. :)
