Before I went to Vegas I finished another pair of Socktoberfest Socks. This is pair #3, the final pair in fact, the Through The Loops Mystery Socks, for those of you keeping track. They are also my favorite pair.
The pattern is fantastic. That’s no surprise since Kirsten is a wonderful designer.
And the yarn, Claudia Hand Painted in the color Cherries, is a perfect match for the pattern. But damn, red is hard to photograph.
I love the attention to detail on the toes. Just look at the way that twist is finished off!
It was really fun to have a change from my usual stockinette sock and do something with a little lace and a little cable.
And a lot of style!

Sara Said,
That pattern is awesome…I’ve started it – but, haven’t gotten very far on it. I love her patterns – and her pattern from last year was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone to do a new pattern for socks.
