Tami’s Birthday Socks
Tami’s birthday is in February.
Here are the socks I was making for her. They are a cotton-wool-nylon blend as all wool is too hot for Charleston, SC. I finished them in while we were in Charleston over Thanksgiving.
They are the 4-stitch, double moss pattern from Charlene Schurch’s SENSATIONAL KNITTED SOCKS. I really like the rough nature of this particular double-moss pattern.
But, I’ve been stuck on the 4-stitch variations for over a year now. I’m definitely going to try one of the 5-stitch variations next. One reason I really like the 4-stitch version is the elegant heel treatment with the row of garter stitches along each side of the heel. Here’s a blow-up picture of what I mean:
Of course I could not resist giving them to her. And, you can see that the socks fit Tami’s elegant long feet perfectly! Feet that go with her elegant tall body!
You were right, Barb Melchiskey. I did have enough yarn. I had about 20 inches remaining when I was done. So comforting in the end!!!!
