These are Blackrose Socks from the winter edition of Knitty in Midnight Meadows Sundara sock yarn. I loved this yarn, but it nearly had me beat. The varegiation in the dye is quite subtle and I wanted a pattern that would show it to its best advantage. I cast on a number of socks in this yarn which were frogged - Leyburns, Paul Attwell and Charades twice. Then I chanced on the Blackrose pattern. It is lovely! Just enough lace to be interesting, yet an ideal television viewing sock. However I did get slightly more than I bargained for when whipping up the left sock. I thought my stitch marker had disappeared, and then I found it knitted into the ankle of the sock. Alas, the marker had to be snipped.

Lovely coloured yarn and what an interesting pattern. Good combination.
Nice yarn, good looking sock.
Those are absolutely gorgeous. I love that colour.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by my blog :)
it's great to "meet" you
I adore these socks, am a beginners knitter- we knitted sock in school, which is liturally a lifetime ago and now am a bit weary of trying again...
one day i will
God they look so good. I'm considering copying with some nearly black yarn I've got!
