Lealt Socks – Pair # 35

Not long ago I felt the sudden desire to knit another pair of socks. I guess I was experiencing sock knitting withdrawal symptons! Who’d have thought that is actually a condition! I looked through my plethora of sock knitting patterns and suddenly remembered this little book that one of my spinning friends had given to me a couple of years ago. Thank you again Tricia 🙂

Upon reading the book I found a lovely pattern called Lealt Socks which was not too easy and not too hard. In fact, it was just right 🙂

I actually had a similar coloured sock yarn in my stash to use. It’s Patons Patonyle and specifically made for socks.

The socks came out a treat. You’ll have to excuse the colour variations in some of the photos which is due to the camera and taking photos outdoors I think.

The heel is quite interesting too. Not sure how long you could wear these socks before the heel might start annoying you though.

But you’d have to admit, it is very pretty.

The Lealt pattern is quite exquisite too.

This is the true colour of the yarn.

Which is not too far removed from the colour of the yarn used in the pattern.

Now I just need to wait patiently for winter to arrive so I can wear them!!

To finish off I’d love to show you some little gifts I received on my birthday which was Friday the 13th. My friend Helen gave me this cute little sheep, a ball of bright orange 4ply cotton and she made the card too.

And my friend Stephanie gave me a lovely fabric scarf with butterflies on it. Rather than using wrapping paper she used this gorgeous little orange basket and tied it with some orange ribbon. So clever and now I have this little basket that I can use.

How lucky am I?

Until next time…
