A pair of socks…
This is my second pair of these socks, this time knitted on slightly smaller needles than the last time. They now fit pretty perfectly around the leg and ankle, but the foot is still too long for them to fit inside shoes and stuff. Ah well, I’ll just use them indoors, I guess. Gave the previous pair to one of my brothers, as they ended up being too big both length and width wise. Like the previous time, I changed the heel and bottom of the foot, as I don’t like how there’s a random change in pattern on the heel in the original pattern. Started these in November, but spent ages on finishing the toes, then heels and then weaving in the ends.
- Pattern: Russesokker i Selbu-mønster from Rauma LVS-3, Oppskrifter på Luer, Votter og Strømper
- Yarn: Sandnes Garn Perfect
- Colorway: Navy (6675) and white (1001)
- Needle: 3mm (2.5mm on the ribbing)
- Yarn amount: Uhm, I have no idea. I need to get a scale, but somewhere between 1 and 2 skeins of each color, I’m pretty sure.
- Modifications: Changed the sole and heel pattern.

I wonder if these will fit better length-wise if I knit them in the original yarn? Or maybe if I tried the 11-14 y.o. pattern in a 3.5mm needle? Hm, or maybe I should just stick to other patterns. I started my first pair of blueberry waffle socks the other day, and I kind of love that pattern already. The sock I’ve finished fit really well when I tried it on, at least.
