Angry Peacocks
I must warn you that I’m almost obscenely proud of these. The photos (or rather my crap photo skillz) do not do them justice. They are exquisite - a perfect melding of pattern and yarn.
The pattern is ‘Crosshatch Lace’ from More Sensational Knitted Socks, and the yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in ‘Blue Lagoon’. I made these over 72 stitches on 2.25mm needles.
I only wish you could see them properly! The yarn works beautifully; Smooshy is dyed so that it won’t pool or stripe, and that makes it fabulous sock material. The pattern was slow till I got it memorised halfway up the first sock, then it went very quickly; I made the second sock over the weekend and today’s train knitting.
I have two other pairs on the needles for the SSS challenge, but I’m waiting till they’re complete till I reveal them
