Cable Rib and Go with the Flow

Hello, I've been looking at everyone's lovely socks here for a while and have finally got around to sharing the two projects I have completed from the book. My name is Karen by the way and I live in Scotland.

The Cable rib socks were a Christmas present for my Dad and he's really pleased with them (but he's always pleased with the socks I knit for him!).

The Go with the Flow socks are for me. I liked the pattern but I'm not keen on the colour. Details of the yarns used on my blog. I'm not sure which pattern to try next but at some point I plan to use some bright pink yarn I have for either Embossed Leaves or Waving Lace - decisions, decisions. Happy knitting!

Cable Ribs completed!

I completed my toe-up, two-at-a-time on two circular needles, Cable Rib Socks! More details on my blog.

Cable Rib Socks

Here are my completed Cable Rib socks. They are knit with Yarn Pirate's merino/tencel blend yarn in a color named Malamute. I wasn't sure how I felt about the yarn at first but as I knit with it I grew to love it. It's difficult to get a good picture of the yarn but I'm happy with how the cabling and ribs look with this variegated yarn.

The Cable Rib sock pattern is great. It makes for a nice stretchy sock that fits very well. The pattern was easy to follow and memorize. I love my new socks.

Cable Rib Socks

I finished my first Cable Rib Sock last night. I'm using a merino/tencel blend yarn by Yarn Pirate. The color is Malamute. I'm really enjoying this very simple pattern. I wasn't sure how I felt about the merino/tencel yarn at first but as I knit with it, it kind of grew on me. The sock fits like a dream.

I look forward to casting on the second sock later today.
