My Cenotes

I have finished another pair of socks. These ones are special because I designed them myself. I call them Cenotes Socks, named after the wonderful little freshwater lakes found on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Their waters are as blue as these socks.

Cenotes Socks

Pattern: Cenotes Socks by me.
Yarn: Summit Sock by Impulse of Delight

Content: 80% Merino wool/20% Nylon
Needles: Addi Turbo Circular size 2.

Comments:  I absolutely love these socks. I love the yarn, it's wonderful to work with. I love the color because it's so soothing to my winter weary eyes, and I love the stitch pattern. It's easy to memorize and looks great with a variegated yarn.


Even better? I've written up the pattern and posted it for free. You'll need to go to my pattern blog for the info on how to get it.   Beadknitter Patterns

June Socks in September

A long story on these socks! I got Melissa Morgan-Oakes' 2-at-a-time Socks and also Cat Bordhi's Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles, and I set out to learn . . . . Then thought I'd figured it out from Ravelry help but still got a jumbled mess. So after a long break, I knit these, using Caryn Lantz's "Simple Scks for Ladies on Two Circular Needles, and Regia Cotton Yarn Surf Color. I'm glad to have them as autumn moves in.
Finally I got some help and more self confidence with the 2-at-a-time technique -- hope to finish my next socks faster .
