Scrolls Socks
My second FO of 2009 is, indeed, socks.
Yarn: Maizy in Neptune
Pattern: Scrolls Socks from Sockamania
Started: 10/22/08
Finished: 1/11/09
I bought this yarn at Rosie's Yarn Cellar during the Philly Knitty Fest because it sounded interesting. It was, although it's very splitty, that's not really a problem for me so I didn't mind. I first started a pair of socks in stockinette, but it was pooling in a really ugly way so I decided to break it up by using another stitch pattern. Overall the yarn is nice, very stretchy, and one of the few vegan options out there for sock yarn. The colors it comes in aren't really my taste, but I'm sure there will be more colors available if they keep the yarn, and how cool is it to have socks made mostly of corn?
A variegated yarn probably wasn't the best choice for this pattern, but I'm sure it will show up better when the socks are being worn. Until then, here's a (slightly blurry because it's no flash in the winter) detail shot:
And now, back to the knitting!

The detail shot (although a tiny bit blurry) is really lovely. You did a great job. That shot made me want to the pattern!
Very pretty! I like the pattern...
OK, this is downright creepy... I was just looking at this pattern the other day, thinking that it would be very nice. And... it is! I really like it in the variegated yarn. Fun.
any shrinking in the wash? I hope so because my socks with this yarn are turning out a bit baggy. got tiny feet.
