Finished and enjoying the spring sunshine.
Started: 6 April 2007
Finished: 26 April 2007
Pattern: Elfine's Socks by Anna Bell
Yarn: Curious Yarns sock yarn in Sprung
Needles: 2.5mm circs. I used magic loop for most of it and 2 circulars for the heel.
Modifications: After making my first pair of Elfines for my sock pal last year, I decided I'd need to make them bigger to fit me. I increased the number of stitches to 68, leaving the lace pattern unchanged, but adding an extra knit stitch. On the legs, this means the purl column at either side becomes purl, knit, purl. I also did an toe-up flap heel. They're actually a little baggy at the heel now, so perhaps just one of those changes would have been enough.

Ugh! I'm jealous and sticking my tongue out at you! I love socks but am so afraid to attempt them. I get to the heel and put them down. These spring socks are absolutely beautiful!
