Socks from Renaissance Dyeing Yarn
Voila! Socks knitted by Polly Van Bremmel using the bluefaced Leicester -Iris, here is what she has to say about the pattern she used and the yarn.
The pattern I used as reference is by Cookie A. called "Monkeys." I say referenced, because I made quite a few modifications: toe up (vs. cuff down), no purls (knitted these sts), no yo's (unique left and right leaning increases so pattern "swirls" better, without any yo holes).
I knitted them with a size 2.25 mm/100 cm circular (for 2 at a time). Also, when I make socks, I make the gusset increases on the bottom of the foot, so the gusset area looks a liittle different than a standard gusset.
I love these socks--the BFL is so wonderful, and the color you produced is outstanding! The depth/intricacy is amazing. I am excited in my anticipation of more socks with this yarn!
