I can’t decide if I like how this looks, or if I need to revisit some numbers to adjust the fit (particularly regarding the total height of the sock and the fit at the ankle and foot). It gives a really cozy vibe, though...

Finally photographed!
Yarn: Unplanned Peacock Studio Silk + Merino Laceweight (80% merino wool, 20% silk) Colorway: Denim Construction: Top-down, patterned heel Designed for: Volks SD10 long-legged boys & SD13 girls (shown with Volks SD10 long-legged boy body + default feet)
Prototyping.
The short white version (on the left) is 100% merino wool; the gray and long white versions (right) are 100% alpaca. I like the dreamy, soft look of the alpaca, especially in person, but the merino offers crisper stitch definition so that the swirl pattern doesn’t get as lost. Hm...
I also wonder if the bobbles on every swirl are too much? I could make it every other “row” of swirls gets bobbles... or alternate left and right...
What do you think so far?
Sneak peek. They’re done, but I need to find the time and energy to actually photograph them properly on a doll. Hopefully that will be this weekend...
Hashing out an idea for SD/SD13G thigh-high socks with a lacy flower motif.
I might adjust the fit a bit... and I plan to have the lace panel run down the back of the leg, with the rest of the sock in plain stockinette to highlight the hand-dyed yarn. It’s just easier to show off the lace at this stage if I twist it around. I think it looks okay so far?
I don't know if I'm happy enough with the design to knit its mate or if I should just move on to something else. I don’t even like knitting ankle socks for myself; I’m not sure why I thought it’d be a good idea for dolls... ._.
Sneak peek~
Finally done! I’d like to do a similar pair in undyed/offwhite yarn, but I wonder if I should make them SD10/SD13G sized like these, or SD13B sized? I feel like offwhite would look really pretty modeled by Justyn (with his sunlight skin). I’m just not sure if anyone else would want to own them...
