Great socks!

[rose_anglaise]

Apologies for the awful state of my neglected feet! I didn't have time to paint my toenails before taking the photo!

 

These are crocheted in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn (colour: Pine), and they're the closest I'll get to being a beach bum this summer. I used Leigh (knit-errant's) pattern, which is more of a "serving suggestion", and I'm not sure I was too successful on making the little-toe decreases in the left sock match those on the right (the left one rides up over my little toe when I walk). If anyone has made these and has a suggestion as to how I can solve that little problem when I make another pair, do let me know.

 

It was a fun little project!

I've never seen "socks" like this before. Love the color! Green is my favorite!

That is so smart. What is the comfort level?

I love your socks... I have had a pattern similar to this laying around for quite some time and haven't venture into it yet...I think you may have inspired me!

What a cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

those are cute, E-J. Good idea for sandals and flip flops.

Comfort level of right foot = fab. Comfort level of left foot = not so great because of having to adapt the pattern for that foot.
