2007 Monsoon Socks

Notorious Sock Knitters | January 22, 2008

These are my Monsoon’s knit from a pattern from Cat Bordhi’s new book.  They were knit for my sister’s size 11 (!) feet, so they are a little baggy on the model.  Due to the sock size and pattern stitches, I had to order extra yarn, but I think I have enough left to make a plain short pair for me.   FWIW, Cat’s new book is great.  I have made several pairs as written and even designed one pair myself, using Cat’s handy measurement guides and Master Patterns.  I’m really looking forward to Sock Camp!

They look great! I love how the striping turned out. I’ve got to get my hands on Cat’s new book.

Thanks for sharing your socks, they are really cool! I just got that book over the weekend, and have just started reading it. I knit my socks with double pointed needles, and assumed that all the patterns were for 2 circs. Imagine my surprise to actually open up the book and see that it was written for double pointed as well, so I just had to get the book! I’m looking forward to knitting my first Cat Bordi socks soon. But of course, I must do my STR socks first!

What did you do to get two thumbnail size pictures? The one I posted yesterday turned out really big.
