Only one of these socks count for SS of Ss as the first one was completed almost a year ago. Pattern: Flickering Flames - Black Dog Designs
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in 'Flame'.
Needles: 2.75 Brittany Birch DPs.
I don't like these socks. Gorgeous yarn, just hate how it pooled and I think it was too much colour for this pattern. Wish the whole pair had behaved like the pooled section because I actually think it's nicer. I really like the pattern. It is easy to learn and makes a very pretty pair of socks, but you just can't see it or appreciate the lace pattern in this yarn. Not a good set of choices on my part. I will definitely make this pattern again as I really enjoyed knitting it, but I will pick a much "quieter" yarn next time. Live and Learn. :o)
