Woodland Gloss Leaves Socks

Pattern: Embossed Leaves Socks by Mona Schmidt in

Interweave Knits Winter 2005
Yarn: KnitPicks Gloss (2 skeins) Woodland colorway
Needles: (2) KnitPicks Classic circular size 2US (size 24″ cable)
Modifications: I did an extra pattern repeat on the leg

NOTES:
Pattern: The pattern was easy to follow & produced beautiful results. The fit of the sock is also perfect for my size 8 foot. If I had one wish though, it would be to have someone write a supplement to the pattern to make them toe-up. I had so much yarn leftover, that had I known, I would have down 2 extra pattern repeats instead of just one.
Yarn: For the price, this yarn is a dream! My only complaint is I would like a larger & better color palette to choose from.
Needles: I thought I’d never use anything other than Addis Turbos, but the points on these needles are perfect for sock knitting. I’m a convert!

I will knit this pattern again, I will use the yarn again & I will use these needles until something better comes my way. Currently, these are my FAVORITE socks. (Don’t tell my Socks That Rock RPM’s though, … they think they’re my favorite).

By the way, I just counted & these are the 7th pair of socks I’ve knitted since March. Looks like I’m at around one pair a month! Not bad!
