I found four balls of Kroy 4 ply wool at a flea market recently and had in mind that I would knit myself a pair of socks. The price was right just $3.00 for the four new balls. But what to knit. Since this is the year of my
40th wedding anniversary I decided to knit Anniversary Socks from Nancy Bush from her book Favorite Socks 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave.
So far I've restarted the things three times, making mistakes such as dropping stitches. The DP needles I'm using are long so I can't use that as an excuse. I think that the yarn is so dark I'm having trouble seeing it. I guess it doesn't help that this new place is so dark under all the trees.
Only the front of the sock is decorated with a lace panel. Apparently in the style of nineteenth-century European womens stockings, only the front of the socks is decorated to show beneath a long skirt. The rest of the sock is simple and nothing out of the ordinary. I like the way Nancy Bush has done the cable stitches on this sock. Left cross (LC2) worked over 2 stitches. Knit into the back of the second st on left needle, knit into the front of the first st, then slip both sts off the needle. Easy, neat way of knitting cables for a sock. Maybe not new to some but new to me! I like it!
