Pair #3 finished

OK, I'm officially on a roll finishing up socks. This is the THIRD pair I've finished since Sunday morning - Yes, the first pair was started BEFORE Sunday, and the first two pairs were ankles, but I've finished 3 pairs of adult sized socks in one week! Very cool.



So, I'm very excited about these socks. The yarn is the Knit Picks wool/silk blend, and feels heavenly. I LOVE the color, but just love the sheen of the yarn, and how soft it is. Here & there I did see a little splitting, but nothing compared to Tofuties, the last pair I knit with lots of splitting.


Toe up, size 1 needles, 64 stitches, and just over 8 stitches to the inch. The pattern was, I believe, a German sock pattern. Unfortunately, all I have is the chart, and at the bottom it says "translated by so-and-so"... so I'm assuming it's from one of the German socknitting groups.


Edited 4/15: By random luck, I found the source for these socks:
click here - this page doesn't show a pattern, but a couple of photos & the chart I used

Your socks are great looking!
Thank you for your suggestion about using Knitpicks Palette yarn for fair isle gloves! Great idea!
I also can't believe there is a KAL for a sweater-a-month!! I belong to a sock knitting group that knits 6 soxs a year. LOL

Those are very nice! I love the open weave pattern, and you can tell they are very soft. Wish I could knit like that!
