Harrison Baby Socks

I made these for my youngest sister's new baby boy who was born on 1 February. I started them on Tuesday afternoon and finished them Wednesday evening.

I designed the socks using a modified version of the Triangle Ribs stitch from the "Harmony Guide to Knitting Stitches". Quite a bit of frogging and re-writing was involved, but I got it in the end. This is the second pair of socks I have designed and there are a few more in the pipeline. I'm also hoping to turn this design into an adult size in the near future.

Yarn used - an anonymous baby acrylic 4ply from my stash.
Needles used - set of four 2.75mm DPNs

Spring Twists

I just finished the Spring Twists Socks by Jeanie Townsend last night - they have the cutest little cables running down the leg.

I usually knit my socks with 4 DPNs, so found it a bit fiddly at first using 5, but after the first 3 or 4 rounds I soon got the hang of it.

These were knit with Forsell Superwash 4 ply in Dusky Pink which I got for a very good price on ebay.
