Arch-Shaped Socks
I finally took pictures to show off my Arch-Shaped Socks. I knit the fishbone cable & twisted rib version (there are about five others you can choose from the pattern, including several different ones with stranded colorwork and a knee-high Aran version I'm longing to knit) in Teeswater wool from Shaggy Bear Farm in Scio, Oregon (purchased via A Verb for Keeping Warm's Farm Series).
I'm just crazy about them. I wondered whether the twisted rib would be comfortable under the sole of the foot; I'm happy to report that it is indeed. I've worn these five or six times already. Thanks for a wonderful pattern, Meg!
those are beautiful!! could you tell me where you bought the pattern?

ReplyDeleteI am a new knitter, having knitted scarves, hats, wrist warmers and am now working on a throw-shawl.
My next project will be socks and for my grandchildren and adults.
Are you sharing the pattern directions for your socks?
This is my first time to visit your site so I'm really not that familiar with it, however, I intend to visit it more often now.
Thank you!
