The pattern is great and they pretty much knit themselves. I recommend all the patterns I&#8217;ve knit from Knitspot. The only thing I modded was that I didn&#8217;t do a short row heel because those don&#8217;t really fit me too great so I did a stockinette heel with the gusset decreases on the bottom of the foot to maintain the integrity of the pattern edge (blah blah blah, haha).<\/p>\n<p>Yarn is Rio de la Plata merino sock in raspberry. I got it for myself for my birthday about 2 years ago. It was always destined to be Papavers! I&#8217;m glad I finally made them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Papaver by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/4530119566\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4007\/4530119566_5be1a4b94f.jpg\" alt=\"Papaver\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY now I&#8217;m still working on the yellow socks I talked about last time and also these ones:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Laeticia by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/4530119752\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4052\/4530119752_3da6aa7c21.jpg\" alt=\"Laeticia\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are <a href=\"http:\/\/twistcollective.com\/collection\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/64-spring-2009-patterns\/252-laeticia-by-stephanie-van-der-linden\">Laeticia from Twist Collective<\/a>. It&#8217;s a fabulously written pattern, totally charted. Anytime a pattern isn&#8217;t charted it makes me want to smack it.<\/p>\n<p>And I am actually pretty much following it exactly except for (haha) the cast-on &#8211; instructions call for a rolled edge which makes me want to screech so I did a turned cuff. Doesn&#8217;t look too much different. OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH it is by the book.<\/p>\n<p>This yarn is also Rio de la Plata that has been marinating in the stash for awhile. It was briefly part of a shawl before I ripped it out. I don&#8217;t recall the colorway as the ball band has long been lost in the sands of time.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, Ravelry has informed me that Rio de la Plata is out of business, so good luck finding any! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>It is too bad because their base yarn is great, almost cottony and strong, but all wool.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:30px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/sock-it-to-me\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I finished a pair of socks.
