Dancing Socks Finished

I finished my Cedar Dancing Socks yesterday evening and took some photos of them this morning.

I liked pattern a lot and definitely will do another pair with this architecture. Socks fit very well. I knit both socks in same 40" circular at same time. At heel turn I took socks in different circulars to make it easier.

Cedar Dancing Socks

After Christmas I decided to start a new sock project. I started Cedar Dancing socks yesterday. Cobblestone cuff was quite tricky to do and I managed to knit it too short. I'm knitting this pair of sock with my rosewood needles. Yarn is Finnish Novita Nalle which is basic sportweight sock yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon) here in Finland. Pattern has been easy to follow so I hope to get my new socks finished quite soon.










I also knitted learning socks with Cedar architecture, they are going to be a present to friend of mine who is having their third child any day now.

Country Christmas Cedar Socks

Yet another pair of Cedar architecture socks, these knit in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock colorway 206, Country Christmas. Full details on my blog.



Happy Holidays to all!

Cedar Angels

Here's a pair of Cedar architecture socks – they're Sockapalooza angel socks for D which jumped in the mail today. D prefers bright anklets.



The yarn is Socks That Rock Mediumweight in the Fire on the Mountain colorway, a balanced rainbow of tertiary brights. I love how the subtle repeat flashes briefly at the ankle expansion, then settles down again. I think these may be the handsomest socks I've ever made. I bow to Cat Bordhi!

Riff on Cedar Architecture

I've been working on a riff on Cedar architecture for the Summer of Socks Design Contest. Here's progress so far, with some back-of-the-envelope scratches. I'm calling them Meadowlands Socks (a little Jersey humor).



Naturally, I've corresponded with Cat Bordhi by email – she's very gracious and encouraging about the adaptation of her ideas. See more on my blog, Jersey Knitter, and on Ravelry.
