Knitted to use up the leftovers of this colourful wool, and also using some Patonyle’s sock wool in airforce blue; the colours on these socks remind me of a springtime flower bed against a stormy blue sky. Such a pretty mix of crimson, white, coral, primrose, apricot and green. Very sadly the blue Patonyle’s wool doesn’t stand up well to washing in the machine and these shrank when once I hadn’t taken care to switch the machine to a cold cycle. (head slap) Grrr! Usually I remember this very important step in washing my hand-knitted socks! (Did I mention the twenty hour thing? Not lately? Then let me just slip in that fact again, yes, twenty odd hours of knitting…you would think I’d be more careful)
They now perfectly fit my daughter, who accepted them into her sock drawer and is modelling them here today. Can you tell she did ballet as a littlie? That pointed toe!

Those socks are really cute. Love the colours! I have been wanting to learn to knit for a while, but I guess I'll postpone that until it's going to be winter here again. Somehow, right now, on a hot humid day, I tend to long for fabric and sewing more than for yarn and knitting 🙂
Beautiful socks. I recognize ballet feet. My 17 year old daughter also did ballet.
At least they fit someone!!
HOA = homeowners association .. so the houses are all set back the same distance from the street, all have privacy fences, etc… But goose will LOVE having neighbors with children!!
Ballet feet was the first thing I thought! Beautiful socks and foot model!
