Regency

My Regency Socks are ready to wear. The pattern was designed by Rachel Gibbs and published in Knit Now magazine, issue 17. The great thing about knitting socks is that they're a small project, so however complicated the pattern, they don't take all that long to knit. I like knitting cables in the round, with the right side always facing. I think the cables give a good fit to the socks. Here are a couple of selfies so you can see what I mean:


The socks are ready to take on a short trip we're going on. It will be Tuesday or Wednesday next week before I write again.

    Gorgeous ! Perfect knitting and fitting ! And they look Very warm & cosy - trademark of a cable pattern .

    Jane, would you recommend such a cable pattern for leggings ? I knit leggings for my MIL, but haven't used a cable pattern thinking that they may be too bulky or 'get in the way' (she wears them under her saree/maxi).

    Have a great trip :-)

      I think it would work, as long as you use sock wool, ie fine wool. Cable work can give a good fit and firmness.
