Blue socks

I finished these socks a few weeks ago. They were a present for my friend Lavrentia, who made me the beautiful crochet project bag I wrote about recently. I enjoy knitting socks with lace, but it's also very satisfying to use a simple pattern and let the yarn show off it's stripes! Lavrentia loved them and I'm a very happy knitter!

Τελείωσα αυτές τις κάλτσες πριν μερικές εβδομάδες. Ήταν δώρο για τη Λαυρεντία, τη φίλη μου που μου έφτιαξε την πανέμορφη τσάντα για την οποία έγραψα πρόσφατα. Μου αρέσει να πλέκω κάλτσες με δαντέλα, αλλά είναι επίσης πολύ ωραίο το απλό σχέδιο που αφήνει το νήμα να δείξει τις ρίγες που κάνει! Άρεσαν στη Λαυρεντία πάρα πολύ και εγώ είμαι πολύ ευτυχισμένη!

  2. Those socks are very pretty. There is something very satisfying about knitting a basic pattern and letting the yarn speak for itself, isn't there?
