I absolutely love this pattern and I love the yarn I used too but I'm a little disappointed with the socks. I followed the pattern when it told me to knit two and a half pattern repeats for the leg, it looked long enough when I started the heel flap, but in hindsight, I wish I'd kept the leg going a little longer as the socks are rather shorter than I'd have liked. Never mind, they're okay and I'll still wear them. I shall definitely knit this pattern again though, and would have done anyway, it's just so pretty. I'll make the legs a little longer next time though.
I used Craft House Magic yarn in the Rio colourway and it looks even more beautiful in real life than it does in the photos. It's so soft and squishy too. I really love Ellie's yarn and will back to buy more, even though I still have more in my stash already.
The Wildflowers & Honeycomb Socks pattern is by This Handmade Life and can be found on Ravelry.
They're beautiful and such a lovely colour! I'm trying to fit in time for a little crochet, though I haven't had time to pick it up this week. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteI always knit my socks shorter, the 1st pair I made felt too high for me, I love the yarn.
ReplyDeleteEllie's yarn is lovely, and looks very pretty knit up in that pattern :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn and pattern and they play together well. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of summer and teamed with a pair of white converse would be ideal. The pattern is lovely. I'm liking the stitch on the heel.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful pattern, and I know Ellie's yarn is good! I tend to make my socks shorter, so they look perfect to me. I wonder what will be made next.
ReplyDeleteYOur socks are lovely...
ReplyDeleteBut the baby ones, are precious!!!! -smile-

They really are lovely.xxx
ReplyDeleteThis may be exactly what I'm looking for to modify for fingerless!
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for fingerless mitts using a similar pattern then the cupcake mitts on Ravelry are really similar.
DeleteLovely. Just right for the Summer.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I am not a knitter and am really hopeless a tit but I still love to see thing like this. My Gran used to do all of my knitting for me and she was absolutely wonderful at everything, I do miss having handmade beautiful things. x
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I had your talent! I love everything about them! 💖
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and the yarn they are both so pretty. It is really annoying when you realise that a pattern is not quite what you wanted isn't it, especially when you are too far on to do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern and very pretty yarn xcx
ReplyDeleteThey look great Jo, a nice looking pattern.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
