Right, I've finished one Anelmaiset sock. It turned out that my 35 times round the niddy noddy was stingy, I would've run out of dyed yarn if I hadn't used a lot of natural in the foot part.
In the original pattern, the flowers and leaves are crocheted, but that won't do for a knitting competition. I had a look on Ravelry and found hundreds of patterns for knitted flowers. For the flower I used a tutorial by Julie Taylor. The leaf pattern is adapted from a pattern on Cyntergomes.livejournal.com. The original is much too big for my purposes, so I knitted it until I had figured out the principle involved and then I made a smaller version.
OMG - that's an AMAZING sock. Hope the second one is easier to make. I WANT A PAIR JUST LIKE THAT.

ReplyDeleteWow what. A fabulous sock, I love the flowers and leaves added on it, you have done a beautiful job. Well done, at least the second one will be easier now you have worked the pattern.
