lookie lookie, a complete pair of socks for ME!!!
Pattern: adaptation of the Gull Wing Sock from Socks Socks Socks
Yarn : Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, Grey's Corner, 1 skien
Needles: size 2
Notes: i adapted the pattern for toe up socks because i was afraid of running out of yarn. these are fairly short, but i don't mind. and a one skein sock for the LL's rocks.
i loved this pattern so much (and had another single skien of the LL's) so i started these puppies:
the FLAMING gull wing socks (the colorway is called Flames or something close). i did a couple of alterations to the previous pattern cause the socks weren't as snug as i would have liked. and, i'll definetly be using a different heal...i hate the one that i used on the first pair. ps. i, a die hard Magic Loop fan, am absolutly loving using shortie DPN's. i want to try some even shorter ones (these are 6" pony pearls).
i think that i may be quite addicted to the dyeing of the yarn--i'll have to try selling some soon to support the habit, i think (any inforation on that?) anywho, two more dye jobs.
here they are. the blue-y one is what i've decided to use for my sock pals socks, instead of the first one i dyed. this is way more subtle, but i really like how it turned out. i used a different yarn than i have been dyeing--it's Wildefoote sock yarn, started out in Camel color. the other was a light mint green Baby Ull. By the way, everything that i've been dyeing lately, except for the wildefoote, has been Dale Baby Ull, and i've been using Wilton Dyes for the color.
