Not me just totally forgetting to post these here despite literally being the moderator and also in charge of making our current theme Halloween... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Anyway. Here are your unsolicited sock pics.
Sock one was done by this time last year, but I just wasn't really vibing with it. It looked really weird and not sock shaped because of the cables down either side, and something about the way the orange and purple yarn knitted up was disappointing to me.
Pulled that first sock out of the drawer a couple of months ago intending to frog it, and of course now I was in love with it!
The second one has featured in many a WIP Wednesday post lately, but here we are. A few mistakes, including a wrong turn on the cables while waiting for husband to get out of surgery a few weeks ago. So now they're not only Halloween colours, they're also a reminder of a genuinely scary night!
*spooky hands*
OoooooOOOOoooEEEEeeeeOOOooooo!
Pattern is "Aquaphobia Socks" by Crystal Flanagan, discontinued but you can find what info there still is on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aquaphobia-socks
Yarn was a Halloween special from Bellwether Yarns a couple years back, and I don't think she does it anymore either!
This was not a helpful reference section ๐
Thanks I'm really happy with the fit of them, really are very comfy. The pattern calls for way more stitches than I would usually do for socks but I guess the designer knew what she was talking about!
