socks

It is conceivable that Virginia will eventually slow in her sock-making exercises. She will, at least, be taking a wee break from it once she finishes up one or two more custom orders. This holiday season was no exception with sock orders (as you may have noticed from previous sock-filled posts), as feet, these cold wintery days, are demanding warm, cozy coverings. Here are the latest (and my apologies for the variety of lighting techniques used in the photos — I blame the winter hours, and lack of proper daylight):

And, since this is likely the last post in 2008, may your new year celebrations be safe, peaceful and full of good cheer.

It may seem like I’ve waited a really long time in order to update you on some of Virginia’s sock knitting, especially given the quantity of socks finished, but I assure you not that much time has passed since the last post that contained socks.

The next round off the needles are below:

And, because I’m a lazy blogger, you will have to guess the yarns used in each of the socks. I will say, though, the teal socks are Nancy Bush’s Denmark pattern using Meilenweit. The rest? Happy guessing… or just have fun looking at the finished product.

Though no kilt was made to accompany these, they’d be perfect for traipsing around the highlands.

These are from Nancy Bush’s Folk Socks, knit with Regia Silk (4-ply).

Virginia says Mustaa villaa is always an inspiration. Her particular choice of yarn for this pattern was too hard to resist and so she down-right copied her. 🙂

While she was wrapping those up, she finished another pair of basic socks (knit using ONline Supersocke).
