| the gosh darn it I'm going to show off my handknitted socks even if I have to wear highwaters |
Can you tell that I'm having way too much fun wearing my new Arne & Carlos Summer Night socks? I am now a total convert to the joyful & calming benefits of knitting vanilla socks. Especially with fun self-patterning yarns like this one. The pattern is my own cuff-down vanilla sock recipe that I'm in the process of fine-tuning. Still doing research on how to get the best fitting socks for my feet, especially when it comes to the heels and toes. There are so many varieties of both out there to try, but that's half the fun! The weather is simply gorgeous today, so a long tea break accompanied by the latest episode of the Wooly Cakes and Wooden Spoons video podcast as well as some knitting under the cherry blossoms sounds like a perfectly good way to spend the rest of the afternoon :)
Those are so pretty!
ReplyDeletethose socks are so spectacular!! Love them, and I'm dying to try some Arne & Carlos!
ReplyDeleteSuper gorgeous and I lve them in your shoes. I am always looking for God shoes to wear to,show off hand knit socks.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new pair of socks. The color scheme rocks. And ho dang! A mention?! *bows* I am honored!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a star toe? That one fit my MIL well, she has tiny feet. Love the high waters!!! How I dreaded that look whenever my jeans shrunk or I grew! Back in the day, LOL, they didn't do talls for high schoolers who wore a size 14 in kids but had a 32" inseam!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have been lusting after some of that sock yarn...any Arne & Carlos, but the summer night seems particularly pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love this sock photoshoot so much!It looks like a magazine shoot, what a great contrast between your awesome socks and the book shelve behind you. And thank thank you for this photo of cherry tree - it is absolutely magical!
ReplyDeleteLove love love! I think the Arne & Carlos colorways are so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteThose socks are so fun. I love when the yarn does all the work for you! I just lost time going down the rabbithole of sock yarn you provided in that link ;) Those are some exceptional sock dancing poses!
ReplyDeleteThese are so nice! It's been way too long since I knit plain vanilla socks with some nice self-patterning yarn.
