Those Key Lime Socks :-}

[Momcrochets]

I made it! :phew After all that fuss with the heel...it was worth it. I'm happy with my soft, comfy, acrylic () socks. And really, once you get going, it's not that hard, I found. the stripes spiral some, b/c of working in the round, but it does work out.

Here they are: you can see the spiralling more on the ankle than the foot...(it behaves better there for the most part, I think.

Can't wait to see yours...

Those look terrific. I can't wait to try this pattern, although when that will be is still very uncertain.

These look great - totally comfy

 

.. but they look more like what I was getting than the original pattern pic.

 

I wonder if I should go up a hook size to get a more open look to the stitches. Maybe it is because I am not using the same yarn. I am using a sport weight yarn (RH).. hmm

Thanks Darski...I think they must have stretched and pulled them...and used double sided tape on the model to keep them straight. But they are soft and cozy

 

Btw, I used YarnBee's Sweet Delight...which I think is almost more DK than Sport weight...but as long as gauge is working, and it's fitting your foot...it should work. (I think I worked rather loosely on these ones anyway. IF I'd had a "thicker" sport weight, I might have tried that...but Softee Baby and yarnbee's all I had other than WW or cones of 2-weight)

HTH

Darski,

the second I opened the Pattern of the Day, I thought of YOU!

 

 

Have a stitchin' day, all!

[Momcrochets]

whoops, darski, I missed those socks for Sunday. oh well, TFS anyway. Happy sock-ing.

ETA: I noticed I keep tugging the toe of one of my socks to "straighten" it. LOL...if it was a more reversable stitch, you could reduce the spiraling effect by joining and turning each round. OTOH, they DID fit in my shoes

I was just looking for the pattern for Key Lime Socks. I had it printed up but some liquid was spilled on it. It is totally illedgible. Now, I can't find it except for on e-patterncentral.com

 

Do you know where I can get the free pattern? I thought that I had it saved to my documents but, apparently I don't.

[darski]

The best we can do is keep an eye out for it to become available for the freebie again. They do repeat some of them over time.

AAwwwh! I am doing the "Berries" socks that are in the, "You can crochet socks by Kim Kotary." It also has the "Key Lime" socks in it too. I am up to the heel opening, I hope I do it right.

I am officially conceding to the key lime socks pattern. They win hands (feets ) down. I am going to assign that yarn to something else.

 

I may come back to this another year but for now I have to tidy away WIPs and admit defeat where it is due.

I started this pattern for the sponsored sock CAL, with my special yarn from The Loopy Ewe. I did a few rows, and although I could see how it might work out, I wasn't happy with a top-down sock pattern. I'm used to making them toe-up, and I was afraid they wouldn't fit right. So, I concede as well, and I'm doing something else! Poor Key Lime socks....

I agree. I prefer the toe up socks. Guess it is just where I started but you get a better cuff from the bottom up.
