Second pair of socks from Cookie A 2013 Sock Club's first shipment finished. These were slightly more difficult than the Ernie pattern, because you had to keep an eye on the chart all the time. Or, at least my photographic memory is not well-trained enough to memorize the pattern. I knit the largest size, because I wanted them slightly bigger, but apparently my gauge was so intensely tight that they turned out more like a small or medium size. I hope they are roomy enough for the recipient's needs. The yarn was Cephalopod Yarns Skinny Bugga!, just like with the other club socks, but this time in the colorway VW Bug.

These are very nice! I did not know there was a Cookie A sock club! Is it every year?
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time taking part this year, but I think it's been going for a couple of years.
DeleteBeautiful! A nice pattern, have to take a closer look.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThey are beautiful! I have the same problem with Cookie A socks: the charts are impossible to memorize. :P They always turn out lovely, though, so it's almost worth the trouble. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're in the Cookie A sock club too? It looks like a really nice club! Beautiful socks!
