Sock Commission

I've been commissioned to knit a pair of socks. The yarn is a firmly spun 3-ply, bit harsh to the touch, but perfect for socks. The pattern I'm using is called bintje by Jatta Saukko, available as a free download on Ravelry. The original is knee length, but I'm going to make ankle socks. I'm stuck on the blanket until the rain stops because I need some more flower colours, so now is the perfect time to make some progress on the socks.

    I have never attempted cable socks and usually only knit plain one's. I have the wool and pattern and really should get on and make some more, this might spur me on. Look forward to seeing these made up.

    I do love hand-knit socks, and I keep thinking I'll get back to making them. I don't think I could take on commission work, except from a family member. My family is much more understanding of my flights of fancy and ability to flit from one project to another!

    Beautiful color! Why is it perfect for socks? ( I'm such an amateur). The pattern is gorgeous!

      It'll show the pattern well and keep its shape. And socks don't necessarily have to be soft.
