Over last weekend, I played with the Lion Brand Sock-Ease in my pattern Country Girl Socks. This is color #206 Sour Ball. This color ‘spoke’ to me for making these socks because I really think of lush countryside and green as going together, lol. |
Sock-Ease has nice long sections of the main color interspersed with short sections of 2 accent colors. This creates larger solid areas of color when knitted than would usually be the case for most variegated yarns. I think this allows the lace stitches to stand out nicely even amongst the relatively large contrast of the other colors.
| Here’s another view of the sock from the front. Note the foot-flattering instep detail as the lace transitions from leg to the wide ribbing down foot. |  |
Next up is Concertina Lace Socks in the bright yellow colorway that Lion Brand calls Lemon Drop. Check back soon to see pics (I hope). Meantime, I am off to play a bridge tournament this weekend!

Very nice. I also like the colors and patterns. The finished product is definitely novel for those that like colorful socks. I know my daughter would love a pair that looked something like that, but I’m not sure I can pull it off. We’ll see.
This reminds me of my grandfolks back in the farm. Good memories! Really good ones!
Ok OK sign me up for the pattern and the yarn. Where can I get both?!?!
