Happy with these @verybusymonkey.bsky.social socks. Now making a t-shirt in the same yarn to complete an outfit!
One pair of dark grey socks slightly overlapping. Yarn is merino / nylon fingering weight. Socks have an intricate diamond lace pattern made from multiple small cables.

Still spinning on the grey BFL for TdF, but here's a sock I started 3 days ago! It's @verybusymonkey.bsky.social Gothic Fountain socks, in @missbabs.com Putnam. The first photo is more true to the yarn color, but the second photo shows the sock patterning better. 🧶

The bright orange sock design is in testing so I am working on something new. Yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in Prickly Pear. Loving the color and after a few adjustments and redesigns, I am loving the pattern too. Now I just need time to knit 🧶

Misty waters, beautiful brook 💙✨ Enjoyed every moment of knitting these socks! Pattern: Sirocco Socks by @verybusymonkey.bsky.social #knit 🧶
A flat lay photo of a pair of turquoise, hand-knitted lace socks. The socks are shown alongside a hand made glass bowl, with red, orange and turquoise geometric designs. The socks were inspired by misty waters,  and all the colours that the brook embodies. For the pattern, I've chosen the Sirocco socks to emulate the sinuous lines and movement of the water surface & for the yarn a skein of Miss la Motte to represent all the different shades of blue, green and brown.
