Lupin Socks

Pattern: Cookie A mystery socks from SKA group on Rav
Yarn: A piece of Vermont in the Jam colourway
Needles: U.S. 2 DPN`s
After so many comments about how well they matched my Lupin`s it would only be fitting to have the finished pics… with the Lupin`s of course
This was my first CookieA pattern and won`t be my last. Even though this was the most intricate sock pattern I`ve ever knit, I enjoyed the challenge and even learned to cable without a needle!

I`m sad A Piece of Vermont is no longer producing yarn. This colourway is AWESOME, I can only imagine what the rest would have been like. I might even have to a little nosey on Rav and see if I can`t find any more in someone`s stash.
Finishing these on time was a feat in itself, its amazing what one can do when you work on a sole project
There are TONS of socks I`m itching to cast on but I`m going to make myself finish my second Mojobefore attempting anymore. Ohhh and there are sweaters to talk about too. So many patterns so little time!
What patterns are you drooling over?

Ok… so that color is absolutely brilliant. And so darn perfect for this time of year. Sort of makes me want to buy them off of you!

Beautiful socks! I’m the same about patterns that I want to knit. I want to try them all and getting started is my favorite part so I end up with a lot of unfinished projects. My Ravelry queue is only the tip of the iceberg – I have a gazillion pattern books and a whole bunch on the hard drive. Giving gifts is about the best way to make me stay on track with one project.

Fabulous socks (and so very perfect with the lupine!). I’m about to start my first Cookie A. pattern and am so excited about it!

These are GORGEOUS! Both the real lupins and the Lupin Socks! Ours don’t get nearly as dark here in Colorado, nor as big. Good job!!

Gorgeous socks, and you did them in time as well, with time to spare!
At the moment I don’t have a pattern I’m drooling over. Everything I knit feels just Blah.

The socks are beautiful — and they look very challenging. Congrats for finishing them on time!
My list is ridiculously long, but stranded mittens are near the top!

I have been wanting to try a Cookie A. pattern for awhile. But I think you’ve just pushed me over the edge. Beautiful job. And I love them up against your lupins!
