can I keep them?

I did indeed finish the first of these socks last night, yay! The thing is, they fit me better than any socks I’ve ever made for myself. Do I have to give them away? Of course I will, but I might make some for myself at some point.

I did manage to take it off, and my feet are back in their fuzzy feet. Cozy, but not quite so stylish.

(I will wash these socks before I post them to my aunt, don’t worry)

Oh and to everyone who has asked where I got the pattern for Snow White from. I’d love to be able to send you a link, but at the moment it’s in my head, and not quite all worked out. Sorry if I wasn’t very clear that it’s my own design. The pattern is coming though. I just need to knit this second version to check that all the changes I’ve made work out.? I’m delighted that you’re interested though.

Wowzers, they’re cute. i am just finishing all my last minute socks that came in as present requests… I’ll be dreaming of knitting socks of my very own!

Right now, it’s stockinette dedication that I need!

Wow, they are so intricate, it must be a small cable needle!

The socks are lovely and I adore the Snow White top. When you get the pattern out of your head and onto some paper please post.
Happy Holidays!

They look perfect! Hope your aunt has received them by now and that they fit her as well as you. If you ever feel like writing up the pattern, or just giving a few handy hints (I am as yet, a cable novice, so a ’simple little two stitch cable’ doesn’t mean as much to me as it might) I’d be really grateful. I particularly like the transition from cable pattern to heel flap. :)
