The First FO of 2006
I knit 1.5 socks to make this pair but it was worth it.
Specs:
Pattern: Lacy Scallops
Needles: 2.75mm DPN's
Yarn: 2 skeins of Live 2 Knit Elizabeth in Pina Colada colourway (not shown on site)
Started: December, 2005
Finished: February, 2006
Notes: I made a few changes to the pattern, firstly I knit it toe-up and used my favourite short row heel from The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook. Secondly I used a M1 increase instead of the YO called for in the pattern, well just because I can, and finally I had to increase to the 72sts right after the heel due to my *cough, cough* cankles.
I LOVE the way they turned out and wore them all day Saturday, even though it was far too warm for socks, now I can't wait to start another pair of socks but first I need to dye some more yarn.
In a fit of finishing I've also finished Selma's second sleeve at long last and I'll attempt to get that sewn in this week, who knows I may have another FO to show you before the week is out, stayed tuned.

They look great, Katie! I haven't been in much of a sock mood lately, but I've been seeing so many great socks, I may have to knit a pair :)

Katie, your socks are divine!! And they are VERY flattering to your 'cankles'!!!!!!!! You look positively gazelle-like!!! I am like that with new things. I wore a scarf when I finished it last year in Summer and felt quite faint!!!!

hey katie, just catching up on your blog after being away for a while and wow what a feast of knitterly activity!! Love the lacey - soo sad it doesnt fit. The selma action sounds drastic! But the sock by the fire photo is a master stroke!! :-) Stripey

I love your socks! They look really cool, I may have to add them to the never ending list of things I would like to make! It never gets shorter no matter how many I knit off it.
These Lacy swalops looks so qute. I have knitted a couple of feather and fan socks before but these looks even prettier. I definately have to try this pattern.
Thanks for letting me know about this pattern.
