FO: Hedera Socks
Socks finished! A somewhat late birthday/mother's day gift for... well, my mom.
Pattern: Hedera
Yarn: Regia Silk, color 53
Needles: Addi Turbos Size 1 (magic looped)
Mods: None.
Notes: I was originally planning to make these toe up, but I became enamoured of the way the gusset looks. So top down it was. I found starting the magic loop process with 60 stitches stitches much more fiddly - I had more difficulty controlling the sock until I was an inch or two into it. New experience.
The pattern is easy to memorize and really fun once you get to the body of the foot. But by the time you get there, it's almost over!
The yarn. Oh the yarn. I love Regia Silk. It is soft, it's a joy to work with, and it's soft. I am hoping that the yarn I have leftver is enough for footie type socks, at least. My one complaint is that the yarn seems to fuzz up a little. I'm not sure if it's a result of being shoved and carried around unceremoniously in my backpack or if it's simply the nature of the yarn. It is my hope that the fuzz I see now doesn't get worse when they are washed.
And if the socks look small on my feet, it's because they are. :)
