sophy's knits, notes, etc.

these were a stashbusting effort that worked out rather well. i originally wanted to knit the hanami lace socks from Knitted Socks East and West. but obviously, those were not written for worsted weight yarn, so i decided to keep it simple as pie:

a pile of socklettes.

project :: garden of silk socklets by me. [ravelry]
yarn :: Noro Silk Garden, Color #84 and #47, 1 skein each.
needles :: US 7 (4.5 mm).
start-to-finish :: Oct 23-30, 2009.

gosh. did i really knit these all the way back in October? talk about belated project posts... these are nothing fancy. a few rows of k1p1 rib. i used short rows for the heels and toes. the broad lace leaf insert was extracted and improvised from the hanami socks pattern. (i cannot resist a leaf pattern, you know.)

really, while knitting them i thought they would be such fun mismatched socks to wear around the house to keep my frosty feet warm! i discovered that, when it comes to pairs of socks, i'm perhaps more fastidious than i thought; i wanted them to match. and because of that, i never wore them. ultimately, i gave them to a friend for the holidays. she loves them -- stashbusting success!

happy knitting!
