Lucky.

I finished my Lucky socks in time for my blood pregnancy test this morning. Just got a phone call that confirmed these socks are indeed lucky! WOOT! Now we need to make it through the next month or so, hoping everything says where it is supposed to. But I have a great feeling about this one!

Back to the knitting - here is a shot of the finished socks:


I followed the directions exactly except for one tweek - I went down from 66 to 64 stitches for the foot. And here is a close up of the heel:


It isn't a Cat Bordhi pattern, but is inspired by her sock construction. This is my second pair in her new 'style' and they fit so much better than any other sock I have ever

Congratulations! I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Put your feet up...get lots of rest...and knit! It's the perfect excuse!

Your Lucky socks look great! I'm working on mine but the LLI and the RLI's are kicking my butt. I think that I might be knitting into the wrong stitch or something. At least the yarn is nice to work with, so I don't mind so much.

said...

Will have to try the new construction- those look way comfy!

Those socks are lucky in deed. Maybe you should where them all the time. Or make several more pairs so they can be washed.
