Yet another pair of socks I wanted to keep but eventually gave to Beth. These ones are GORGEOUS yet too wide for my feet. Danggit. Thanks, Beth, for accepting them so graciously!
I’ve made this pattern (Spring Forward from the Summer 2008 Knitty) before and had forgotten just how quickly it goes. Did them toe up using the slipped stitch heel instructions from Wendy Johnson’s Nanner Socks. The Malabrigo yarn isn’t my favorite though it’s up there – great texture and color but it’s not true fingering weight – more heavy laceweight – and doesn’t have quite the twist I prefer in sock yarn. I’ve still got another cake of it around here that I’ll use to Alison a pair of lighter-weight socks.
