Bubbly Spring Socks

Pictures!  Pictures!  Pictures!

I have PICTURES!

Pattern:  Effervesce Socks

Yarn:  Gala Yarn, Mixed Fibers, 2 skeins

Needles:  Size 1 Harmony Needles, super long for magic loop

Modifications:  I knit 15 rows of ribbing for a longer cuff.  I also added more rows to the heel flap (32 rows total).  Don't know if this is exactly a mod, but I was very lazy about the twisted knit stitches.  I couldn't be bothered to cable with a cable needle, and cabling without a cable needle often didn't allow for knit stitches to be knit through the back loop.  So I didn't.  When they were lined up in a neat little line I always twisted them, but on the cables all bets were off.

And there were roughly a billion cable twists.

I'm sure the bubble pattern would be crisper if I had taken more care with the twisted stitches, but I am pleased with the socks as they are.  Lazy stitches and all.

Review:  I love these socks.   Nothing else to says.  My love for Gala yarn is already well documented.    As is my love for Harmony Needles.  My socks are lovely, so now I will just show off some more pictures of my socks.

I will mention that I knit the smallest size for my size 9 feet and they fit perfectly.  Something to think about if you decide to knit a pair.

My quest for buttons continues.  While I wait I have cast on for a scarf/wrap.

No buttons required.
