The pattern is Parade, a download from the Spring/Summer 2011 Twist Collective, which looks more complicated than it really is: the cables are formed by knitting stitches out of order rather than by using a cable needle.
And the yarn is Quince & Co. Tern, a blissful blend of wool and silk. These socks are knit in Back Bay, but the entire color palette--'think vintage painted photographs'--is just as beautifully subtle and sophisticated.
The only question now is which sock pattern to knit next: stripy stockinette or solid-color cables?
Great job - they are beautiful! And I love that soft color.
ReplyDeletelove these...especially the color!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered this yarn, in this colour! I hadn't considered socks... I got 3 skeins, so I might be able to get socks and a little shawl out of them, hmmm. Can't wait for yarn to arrive.
ReplyDeleteI need a pair of these right now! I'm having to make do with burying my cold fit under a certain puppy ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, well done you! Love the pattern and the colour you chose shows off the work fabulously!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed, as always!
ReplyDeleteoh my. cables and socks, you are a knitting goddess x
ReplyDeleteok, I'm having to try a different pattern soon... they're are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'd be looking at my feet all the time... are you?
Beautiful, simple and my favourite colour. Clever clever.
ReplyDeleteThey are just gorgeous... and think I might have to make a pair of those!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely indeed - such a pretty colour.
ReplyDeleteThe look the height of elegance; what a super way to pamper your feet :)
ReplyDeleteEgad! Those socks are INCREDIBLE! And I, too, love the color...
ReplyDeleteThey're just beautiful! They look like they'd be hard to knit, but since you say it's easier than it looks I just added the pattern to my favorites on Ravelry.
