This is the front of the sock. |
The bulges in the socks are from me cramming my fist in to them, not a feature of the socks! |
I don't knit the same pattern, over and over, very often. My Paris Wallpaper Socks are the exception.
I worked them, first, in gorgeous Poste Yarn, Patina. The publications I offered it to turned it down, so I submitted it to Dream in Color.
The combination of Cashmere and sparkles in Starry was amazing!
My mom saw that pair, in the works, and begged me for some of her own. How could I refuse? I made them for her last year. (I think I still owe my sister Lisa a pair. Sorry, sis.)
Then, I made a pair in black and red for Dee. I chose the yarn poorly - they wore out in just a few months.
So, once again, into the breach. This time, I'm using Dream in Color's Smooshy with Cashmere for the red and Simply Socks Yarn Company solid for the black. I love them! (That weird little bunchy bit on the right side of the second photo will block out, don't worry.)
