Roza's Socks

Fresh off the needles .... a very lovely pattern which is so easy to remember that it feels like knitting in a rib stitch. The yarn is also gorgeous & the lilac & green really goes very well together. After seeing so many instances of pooling with hand painted yarn, I have now accept the pooling & considers it as a unique feature of the yarn - the amazing thing is that the pooling is not the same in each sock & thus adds on to the uniqueness.



Pattern : Roza's Socks, IK Spring 2007

Yarn : Zen Garden, merino/seacell in the Wisteria colorway

Needles : 2.5mm Harmony dpns

The socks feel so comfortable on my feet that I didn't want to take them off despite today's temperature of 33C. Anyway, these socks are for CanAssist patients & now that I have finished the 2 pairs of socks, I can send them off !

Of course, I have cast on another sock ....

oh well done! The yarn really suits that pattern, which I've never considered before now but very much intend to having seen yours. And good work on the Can Assist part!

Roza's Socks are my favorite pattern of all times for fit. These puppies rock! I used Cherry Tree Hill on my first pair and they are so amazingly soft and hold up so well. There is absolutely no loose-sock-syndrome at the end of the day.

Oh, so pretty.
They look pretty and witty and wise?

I really like these socks. Now I have to go add htem to my queu! The yarn looks lovely. I've been mostly 100% Superwash girl, but wondering how the blends feel. I may have to try this yarn.
