New England Socks (beach pictures too)
This is my favorite of all Nancy Bush's Sock Patterns ...it was love at 1st site! I'm not sure why I waited so long to make them, but I'm glad I finally did. Beautiful, elegant...in fact so much so, that this may be the 1st pair of socks I've made that I don't wear... I just can't imagine getting them all dirty or even putting them inside shoes!!
Pattern: New England from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush
Yarn: Regia Silk cream (002) - 2 50g skeins (with 21 g left over)
Needles: 2 socks on 2 circular Knit Picks US 0 (2mm) (2.25mm for cast on)
Modifications: I made only 3 diamond repeats on the leg (instead of 4) bringing the total to 6 center diamonds - otherwise followed pattern exactly as written. |

I think the double start cast on creates a beautiful cuff edging. The lacy ribbing which goes part way down the leg, adds a special touch too. I was concerned that the length of the foot might not match MY foot since it is dependent on the center diamonds, but by pure luck, the fit is PERFECT!
