Passing the Finish Line

Trekking Shades Socks

Yarn: Trekking XXL #107
Pattern: Shades Socks
Source: The Wooly West, by Nancy Bush
Needles Used: 4 US 1.5 (2.5mm) DPNs

Another pair of fraternal twin socks in the Trekking yarn! This colorway was a real beauty, and fit in so well with last month’s Project Spectrum color triad (pinks, greens, and yellows) but I was only a few days late! :) The pattern was simple and a nice fit with the self-striping of the yarn. The only change I made was to discontinue the patterning on the foot of the sock. This seems to be my preferred method, ending the sock with some nice smooth stockinette. Another pair of socks for the Nancy Bush Compendium Project!

…and to spice it up for this month’s PS colors…

**The shoes are Nine West hand-me-downs from my mom**

    SO pretty! I’m happy they’re finished. :)

  20. # Carolon 10 Jun 2007 at 11:53 am

    Very nice socks. Trekking yarn is deceptive. Often, I don’t like it in the skein. Knitted up, however….

  21. # Jóhannaon 10 Jun 2007 at 12:00 pm

    When I saw the first picture I thouhgt: VERY CUTE, LIKE IT!!!!!! Then when I saw the second picture I screamed out: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THOSE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!…….and the socks and the shoes look very nice together!!

  22. # Amanda Cathleenon 10 Jun 2007 at 12:08 pm

  26. # Jennaon 10 Jun 2007 at 3:16 pm

    Cute, cute, cute! I have the same yarn and can’t wait to have a pair of striped socks of my very own.

  51. # Katyon 11 Jun 2007 at 2:59 pm

    Hurrah! Now I’m really wishing I had frogged and made mine tighter–it shows the pattern so beautifully!

  52. # Amandaon 11 Jun 2007 at 3:45 pm

    I LOVE those socks with those shoes, and pretty much everything you’ve done with this PS color triad. I was finally able to post a pic of one of my PS projects, stop by and check it out.
