Angee socks

Santa brought me some knitting books, thin double-pointed bamboo needles and yarn. Among the books was Cookie A's Sock Innovation (Suloisimmat Sukat in Finnish). It is an amazing book, which explains not only how to knit some of her designs but also how to design socks yourself.



Of course I had to test a pair from her designs. Here are Angee socks:

Cable socks / Palmikkosukat

This is the last Christmas present. I did not want to post it before I knew that the parcel had reached Istanbul. The picture is a bit wonky as my foot size is smaller - in reality these are very pretty socks :D



I used the pattern for long cabled socks at Novita whttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifebsiteonly in the front. The sides and back are in stockinette. I cast on 48 stitches and made a French heel and a round toe.

Yarn Novita 7 veljestä

Needles 4

Size 40 (cast on 48)
