Sock and Socks

It’s raining sock pictures! My mom is re-learning how to knit after quite a long break (try about 20+ years). She is cutting her teeth on a sock. (yes, we both are crazy and it does run in the family) . she chose a sock pattern I wrote (so she could call and ask me for help when she got stuck, althought= I would have helped her either way). The pattern is inside-outside socks (available at theknitter.com), a pattern that is completely reversable; you can wear them inside out and you can barely tell the difference. Here is her first sock:
Looks pretty good doesn’t it!? The heel is a short row garter heel, and she did have to rip it out once to redo it; but I think it looks great. The yarn is a wonderful color too!
I finished weaving in the ends on a pair of socks today:
The sock top is a bit blurry in the pic, and the coloring in the yarn makes it hard to see that it’s a lace pattern. This is the design for theknitter.com’s Sock of The Month club next month (or the month after). It’s a great pattern to knit up - it goes really fast; and they are going to be super comfortable to wear.
I started a new pair of socks today - one that I’m designing. It’s a question if the pattern I want to do will work out in the yarn I have, but I’m hoping it will. If it doesn’t, I’ll save that pattern for a different yarn and choose something else for this particular yarn. Pictures to come when I get further than a boring 1×1 ribbing.
