I like the Balbriggan heel. It's really comfy. It takes no time at all to knit up. The grafting thing is just a small glitch in near perfection. For anyone afraid of heel turns this is the one to try. I highly recommend this pattern by Jane Prater if you feel like experimenting with a different heel. I'm planning on using it again with the plainer-knit socks I have on the needle. It's very adaptable.
Today is a bit cooler and these socks are perfect. I can wear them with my favorite shoes which show off a lot of the pattern and color. And I think they look great with jeans, too!

Oh, these are georgous!! I love the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat Ginny said - such great colours! :D
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! I could use more layers of wool today. It's spitting rain and it's so cold.
ReplyDeleteI love those socks!! Love the color and the pattern. And I'm the same way with new stuff. Why wait, is my motto. I need to finish some of my WIPs (including a pair of socks!) before I start any other project. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteThey're just gorgeous, Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteThe shades of pink in them look wonderful.
Balbriggan heel?? There's a town just outside Dublin called Balbriggan- wonder if the inventor of that heel was there?
I love new clothes too!
Missed your last post so off to check it out now...
Thank you all! These are very comfortable on, too. I went out for a walk after I posted and the performed well.
ReplyDeleteMimi - check out my post - about 10 days ago - titled Balbriggan. It explains the heel.
Thanks for sharing your pattern:) I'm interested in the wool -the colors are beautiful!
