Another Pair of Socks

Finished some weeks ago, but they dropped into a drawer and I couldn’t take a photo earlier. I thought I should Cat Bordhi’s formuly give a second try, since I was not very pleased with my coriolis (it is too wide!). Boyzeler chose the yarns from my left-over-sock-yarn stash. And it seems that the formula works better for kids, they fit well. Since I designed as I knit, I had to redo something. Because I was just knitting on and on and forgot to change the color at the heel and to lazy to redo the heel, I just switched the color after the heel. But while knitting on the second sock, I decided that I didn’t like it. I was just about to frog the leg as I had the idea that I just can separate the leg and the foot at the color change. That’s what I did and it worked quite fine.

And since Boyzeler really enjoyes me knitting socks for him, I started another pair. Containing his favorite color: orange…
Even though I must admit that seaming is much easier in plain stockinette or plain gartner…
But I am quite pleased with the result:
