WIP Wednesdays: Welsh Country Stockings
Posted on April 17, 2013 in Knitting & Crafting
It’s been awhile since I put up a WIP post, and I almost forgot about it. Since April 1st, I’ve been working on the Welsh Country Stockings by Nancy Bush from Folk Socks:
Nancy Bush is still my favourite sock pattern designer even though I always modify her patterns. This one I went all out and converted it to toe-up which meant changing the heel, the toe, and due to shortage yarn, the colour scheme too.
I am using the fabulous Hazel Knits Artisan Yarn which I got through the sock club last autumn. I still have three skeins of this year which is beautifully dyed and tightly spun. I hope it wears well over time!
I am working on the leg of the socks. I’ve already done one set of 4 increases and will slowly work up to 72 or 80 stitches depending on how bored I get with them.
On a final note, I am going to take part in next week’s Knitting and Crochet Blog Week.This will be my first time participating. I will not answer all the prompts, but there are a couple that I want to post about.
Have a good Wednesday!
Have a good weekend! For more WIPs, go to Tami’s Amis.
Beautiful socks! The brown is great. What a lovely pattern.
Hi Regula! I love the brown too. Thanks!
These socks are lovely. I love the little addition of colorwork incorporated into the pattern.
Hi Michelle! Me too. I’m a bit scared of socks with a lot of colour work. I love socks and I love stranding, but together, it is tricky because of the unforgiving gauge. This little bit is a great intro. 🙂
Amazing socks!
Thanks, Jazz. Happy Knitting!
Your socks are gorgeous!
Thanks, Karen! I definitely think the yarn makes it. Happy Knitting!
