After spending most of my crafting time embroidering, I wanted a change of pace, so I went back to one of my other favourite sofa crafts and started knitting myself a pair of socks. Pattern is based on the (free) Rye socks from tincanknits with a few homebrew modifications. I changed the toes to accommodate my hobbity toes by making right and left socks and decreasing harder on the pinky side(1:2) than on the big toe side (1:4). I additionally reinforced the heel, and instead of decorating the socks with a garter stitch, I put some simple cables there. Wool is the Herriot fine from juniper moon farm which is an alpaca sock wool and is just so sinfully soft I want to bury my face in it and not leave for at least an hour...
