Primavera Socks

Ah yes another finished project :-) These are the Primavera Socks free pattern. I wanted something simple and quick to make. I was a little surprised that it took as long as it did to make them. I spent a whole week working on them non stop including my bus ride from DC to Pittsburgh. The increasing rows are what really slowed this project down and they weren't any fun. I wasn't a big fan of how the pattern was written. I thought the directions for make one right and make one left were a little confusing but I already knew how to do it so it didn't matter for me. Also when it got to the toe decrease section she didn't tell you how many stitches should be knit between each decrease she simply stated knit until the end of this needle or that needle and decrease. Well if I had done that I would have had some pretty crazy looking toes. When people are knitting socks sometimes they transfer stitches from one needle to another to make it more comfortable or easier to knit also how does she know how many stitches a person put on each needle when doing the heel? She shouldn't assume that the knitter who is using her pattern is doing everything exactly the way she did it. I would never recommend this pattern to a knew knitter or anyone that has not made socks before because if I did they would probably give up. With all that said I do still like the finished product.

My little sister was kind enough to model these for me.
