O
I love a project like this, where nothing fatal goes awry and I can sail through to the finish line, enjoying every bit of the knitting. This is another purchased pattern from Summer Lee, hence the name. At this time in my life I know of no Barbara, but nevermind. If I were to name this pair it would be Honeydew Melon socks, based on the yarn color. I used a heavier weight yarn for the cuff, toe and heel for added strength. Cast on 64 sts and used Magic Loop with size one needles. Afterthought heel, my fave.
The ribbing provides a nice fit.
On the feet is where the sock yarn really performs. I used Knit Picks Stroll fingering, 75% Superwash merino, 24% nylon. These socks could be worn on a 98 degree summer day, as they are light as a feather.
My self imposed challenge was to read a lace chart and try to not get lost. This was a super easy chart of only eight rounds and I had no problems at all. Yay!!!
I will definitely make these again and maybe repeat the lace panels around the sock. Just because I can!
