Embossed Leaves Detail

Detail of the embossed leaves. :)

 

I can definitely say that Embossed Leaves is a pattern that I love to knit and plan to knit yet again in the future. This is my third pair so far.

 

This was my first time knitting with Skinny Bugga. I've knit a shawl in regular Bugga, which I loved, and I liked working with Skinny Bugga as well. These feel great on my feet and I think they'll wear well over time.

 

It's hard to believe that I just bought this yarn two weeks ago at Maryland Sheep & Wool and now I have a pair of finished socks from it! Pretty neat. :)

 

Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Favorite Socks

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Skinny Bugga in Honeybee, less than one skein

Needles: US 2

Size: US 8.5 shoe

Mods: I knit 10 rounds of twisted rib instead of 18. For the heel flap, I knit 20 rows instead of 24. On the gusset, I did not cut the yarn (as instructed) since...that didn't make sense to me, lol. Also on the gusset, I picked up 13 stitches along the heel flap instead of 15.
