Simply beautiful knitting. I admire your ability to knit intricate patterns so well.
ReplyDeleteI am curious as to how the Simply Solid sock yarn would compare to other "house brand" sock yarns that you may have tried?

These are fabulous! They look very difficult.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! When I have main projects in "time out" I usually knit washcloths and plain vanilla socks to restore calm. You are a Warrior Knitter!
ReplyDeleteHow I envy your sock knitting abilities. I love that "Chain in Pieces." Really great for socks.
ReplyDeleteWow! That certainly rivals anything Cookie A. does. I'm going to have to break out my book.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Another book on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful socks and they will be very warm also. I haven't knit socks for awhile but this morning received notification that CookieA's new book will be out soon - finally.
ReplyDeleteWonderful neat design. I need a solid color...
ReplyDeleteI have a questions about knitting both socks at once. How many rows do you knit of each sock before going to the other sock? I guess it could be one repeat of pattern? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI love the silvery grey with that pattern.
