September Socks

I finished two pairs of socks in September, one brand-new mystery pair and one of the original mateless socks, leaving two single sock UFOs. I've of course started a new pair for October, and maybe I'll get back to one of the sad single socks if I finish this one quickly enough!

Pattern: Cauchy (Ravelry mine)

Yarn: Alchemy: Yarns of Transformation Juniper

Needles: US1/2.25mm and US1.5/2.5mm

Timeframe: March 30 - October 2, 2015

Mods: Added a couple of stitches per pattern repeat so it would fit my food, lengthened the heel flap, and mirrored the pattern on the second sock.

Problems: See here.

The pattern kind of gets lost in the yarn, but that's okay. I like them just the way they are! There are better pictures of the next pattern, including a blurry on-the-foot picture on my Ravelry page, but I'm posting what I got!

 

 

Pattern: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. (Ravelry mine)

Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll (now Essential) in Ash

Needles: US1.5/2.5mm

Beads: 74 size 08 hematite-colored beads, they're awesome with this yarn!

Timeframe: September 17 - 30, 2015

Mods: None, though I would have started the heel increases earlier if it weren't a mystery sock.

Problems: They are just smaller than I like them, so the last bead on the heel sometimes pulls under my foot.
