socks that rock silkie style
These socks were knit and photographed last February - nearly a year ago now!
The yarn is delicious; it’s Silkie Socks That Rock in Haida purchased at my first Rhinebeck in 2008. And the pattern is my standard top-down 3×1 ribbed sock with garter instead of reverse stockinette; I’m sure there’s a proper name for this sort of ribbing, but I just can’t remember it right now…
These socks were very cozy and looked great with my clogs (pictured at the bottom of the linked post), but I think they’re a touch felted now either from wearing or from the washer as they definitely seem a bit shorter and tighter than when this photo was taken. I wash my woolies together on cold delicate cycle with a little woolite then hang them to air dry… shhh, don’t tell the knitting police! Maybe I should see if I can stretch them back out a little?
