Since making my Dunedin Happy Feet Socks I’ve been in a sock knitting mood and have not long finished these socks called Swirl E.
They’re a cuff down sock knitted on five dpns. The pattern is so easy and does not overpower the striping effect of the yarn.
I must say out of all the beautiful sock yarns on the market today, you can’t really go past Patons Patonyle. It has such a wonderful stretch to it and feels lovely in your hands.
I don’t often knit too much in blue but this yarn has been in my stash for quite a while so I thought I’d actually use it!. The patterning looks lovely and I even managed to get both socks almost identical!
This pattern is by Susie White who’s known as prairiegirl on Ravelry. It’s a free pattern on Ravelry too.
Another successful knitting project done and dusted. They’re very comfy too. I wore them last weekend π
I am busy packing for my holiday to Noosaville which is coming very, very soon so you can expect to hear from me more often while I’m away. Hopefully that is a good thing!
Until next time…

I was taught to knit socks on 5 dpns and that’s all I’ve ever used. I watched a friend of mine knit toe up socks on two circular needles and I was completely bamboozled. Guess I just need to take the time to learn π Hope you enjoy making this pattern and thank you so much for reading my blog.
