rosaleen’s birthday socks
August 1, 2011
Yarn: Trekking XXL colourway #108, less than one skein.
Pattern: bog standard top down with picot hem, afterthought heel and wedge toe. The simple lace pattern was made up on the fly. I’ll write up a pattern soon but I’m working on an anklet version first, in a simpler colourway so the lace doesn’t get buried so much.
Rosaleen has been waiting patiently for these socks since December, and received them just in time for her 85th birthday and a heat wave that’ll keep her from even being able to try them on for at least a month. Whoops.
Here’s me and Rosaleen at her birthday party last week:
