Another Single

I finished another single sock while I was in Maryland!

Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Favorite Socks
Yarn: Sundara sock yarn in Cherry Blossom
Needles: Susan Bates DPNs size 1
Time to Knit: May 2 - May 6

I really like how the brown showed up in this sock.  It looks like a vine twisting around my ankle. Very appropriate for a leafy pattern in cherry blossom yarn!

This brings my count of single socks to three.  I've got two more started.  One is an easily memorized pattern, and I need to look at a chart for the other one.  It's good to have one of each type!

This is the beginning of a heavily modified Uptown Boot Sock (Interweave Knits, Summer 07). I'm planning for it to be normal sock height (not knee high), and that required mods from the very beginning. I'll post all of my changes if the sock works out!  The yarn is STR Silkie in Walking on the Wild Tide.  It's the yarn from the April sock club shipment.

This is the yarn and pattern from the Petals Collection April shipment.  So far, I'm knitting it exactly as written!  I'm loving it :)

I'm on my way to Boston this afternoon, and I'm hoping to be able to knit while I'm traveling.  Look out for some more finished single socks soon!

They're all so pretty! I totally agree with you about the brown on the Cherry Blossom yarn. Also, I like how the pattern goes all the way to the end of the toe. Is that how the pattern is written or did you modify it? Either way, very nice!

those came out great! I love the little splashes of brown. Lucky you in Sundara's club!!!! Hers has to be my favorite sock yarns and patterns I've seen. When it opens up again, I may just have to join!

The embossed leaves came out really cool! I like what you're doing with the STR so far too. The Petals one is really pretty. Great pattern choices! Enjoy your trip. :)

I love the single sock movement! All of them look great!

Your cherry blossom socks are so pretty. The brown adds just the right touch.

The Embossed Leaves sock looks gorgeous in pink - I even like the brown stiping - so unique.
The single sock movement is great - but won't they feel lonely soon? We'll have to find them a mate... :)

PS: Thank you for your good wishes - they worked.

Loving all your single socks! But my head would hurt if I didn't finish both socks!

Single socks looking for love at Maryland Sheep and Wool. Will they find comfort and stability with a solid, or venture on the wild side with those crazy variegated types.

I envision sock puppets and a video camera...

Yeah anyway, I like them all, especially those splashes of brown.

Very, very pretty! May I ask a silly question? Why 1 of each? :)

[Beth]

Wow! Seeing all those socks really makes me want to start a working on my own single socks!! I love the way the embossed leaves sock turned out!

[Ariel]

Beautiful! Such a pleasure to see all those patterns and all the different yarns. This single sock thing is working out brilliantly for your readers!

Love the socks, especially the Petal's collection colorway. Question on the Spiral Boot Socks: where are you putting the marker for the beginning of the round? I know the directions are very specific, but for the life of me, I don't understand what they mean. Does the round always begin with the K2tog or does the beginning shift as the pattern shifts?? I think I'm being way too obtuse!

Google Reader for some reason wasn't showing your new posts, so I am behind in commenting.

The embossed leaf sock is really beautiful! I like how it turned out in that yarn. And the new socks look great, too.
