Happy Cable Socks -Pattern Link in 1st post

[laureni526]

 

Here are some socks of my own design. I decided this cabling pattern would be a good start before I attempted to convert Eunny Jang's knit Bayerische socks to crochet. I really learned how to cable using Etaria's Thick Warm Crocheted Winter hat pattern in 2005 - and have put it to good use ever since. Oh, and I used the Grafton Fibers Toe Up Crocheted Socks guide to figure out how to do heels and toes, since this is my first pair of socks. How's that for inspiration.

 

I got the yarn through ebay. It is a fingering weight tweed that is 70% cotton, with the rest being wool, acrylic and silk. That's right folks, no stretch, so I had to do a little contouring to my feet (not too bad). Since it was already in my stash and I wasn't sure if I wanted to make socks, it was fine for a test run, but not fine for the next pair.

 

I'll probably be posting the pattern in the next week.

 

Update: Pattern is available here.
