I've been looking forward to knit with this sock yarn base for a while now. I absolutely LOVE it! This is a 3-ply sock yarn, merino fiber, with one strand being superwash, that's why the colors are not absorbed equally. It's not the usual soft merino, but that's totally O.K. with me. I only hope they will hold up well. It was a little splitty at first, until I got used to knitting with it, but I love the knit fabric it gave me on 2.5mm needles.
Excuse the many pictures, but I'm just so darn happy with them.
I've got the color work pattern from the book "Estonian socks all around the world". It's not a real pattern book with A-Z instructions, but I don't need that. I've made my May socks from that book too, but have yet to show them here on the blog. I've already planned a third pair, just have to pick the colors.

Oh I love the way the dogs sleep, and the way Denny makes sure he shares himself out evenly!!!
Gorgeous sock, they are just sooo lovely. Their oppositeness is beautiful!!
Awesome!!! When I first started reading your blog, you know eon`s ago. I couldn`t wait to see what socks you would knit next because you always chose the best colour combos.. and you did it again.... hummm that felt like I was a judge on American Idol hehehe
I love your socks, too!! And who can resist sleeping dogs?!?! That's when I sneak over and snuggle Milo.
i love the subtle color variation of the yarn. pretty socks!
Those socks are beautiful!! The colors are gorgeous, and I love blue and orange together :)
The dogs are sweet as ever.
The socks look completely awesome! you should be really happy with them, you did an amazing job. As always I love seeing pictures of the puppers.
Gotta love blue and orange together! I think Denny spied you taking that photo with Happy.
I love Maggie's crossed back legs - Lunil is often the same. What cuties...
tja, so sind die Geschmäcker verschieden - alle schreien Hurra und ich find die Farben zu grell. Das Muster ist schön, aber die Farben wären nicht die Meinen.
Grüßle, die Bea
The socks are amazing, I guess I'll have to try some of the Tabby Cat.
I can't imagine living with 3 dogs, 1 is enough.
Stunning socks! Really beautiful!
Love your socks. Especially that they are opposites.
I'm still amazed at how fast those socks flew off your needles. Mom and I were a little apprehensive about the Tabby Cat. It's not as soft, but I think it will have it's uses!
They look so peaceful sleeping....
Nice socks!
Love the socks! The puppies are adorable as usual. I love how Maggie has her legs crossed as she sleeps!
Wow for the colors! Great design. Patterns on the leg are often covered by pantlegs. These socks are made for my Mary Jane shoes! Totally love them.
