Columbine Socks
Something from the sock archives for Danielle’s contest.
Yarn: Sunshine yarn in “Harvest” colorway, 100 percent merino, 440 yards (purchased from Knitting Sunshine, and yes, that’s my foot on her site if you click on the same colorway)
Pattern: Columbine socks from Cat Bordhi’s Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles
Needles: Size 1 Addi Turbo circulars
Comments: I had a baseball-size ball of yarn left over. If I had to do them over again I would make them taller (mine are 5 inches) and cast on less stitches for the cuff (pattern called for 72, which would fit a women’s size medium, but sag a little on my thinner ankles.) The pattern is relatively easy to memorize, but I would pay particular attention to the yarn-overs at the end of each needle.
