Fancy Silk Sock
by Nancy Bush
Pattern source: Knitting Vintage Socks / Nancy Bush
Yarn: Schoeller + Stahl Fortissima Socka
Needles: 2,5 mm for the upper leg and 2,25 mm for the rest of the sock
Modifications: replaced the scalloped edge with k1 p1 ribbing, did one extra pattern repeat in the leg, made the heel longer
Well. I'm a bit disappointed with these socks, mainly because of the yarn. It's not a nice wool, it's scratchy and sticky, and an especially bad choice for this delicate lace design. I should have stopped after knitting the first sock, but I was stubborn and wanted this yarn out of my stash. Stupid, eh?
