Yay! Thanks for posting this pattern. I can't wait to knit it and have the perfect Ginny yarn that I got from Liz- who is the root of all evil;)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern I found it on Raverly. I love your yarns I just bought some rowena colorway from you and it is so nice to knit with! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Did you buy a hank of yarn with 420 yards or use 420 yards? I bought some Miss babs sock yarn to make these socks and it has approx. 400 yds. Will I need more?
ReplyDeleteI'm a new knitter so I'm confused about 6 & 7. I have 32 stitches on the needle. Slipping stitches doesn't decrease any. So how do I get down to the number of stitches on step 8? I've never tried socks before and I thought this pattern looked like something I could handle, but I'm stumped! Please help?
ReplyDeletethanks for the pattern! I´ve made the socks and I love them!

I love your socks. I am a new sock knitter and I've come across this in a pattern. Work x rounds straight. The sock has a patterned section in it. I don't really understand what working a round straight.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can explain it.
Thank you so much for the pattern. I just finished them using Kintpicks new chroma yarn and they look fantastic. I stayed on the size 2 needles for the feet and they fit like a glove. thanks again!
