I love Cookie A sock designs! !
As a member of her sock club I receive two
patterns every other month.
Oh, yes, and a very lovely, lovely skein of yarn.
However, I decided her pattern Ernie would be handsome in this 'oatmeal' color
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Multi
80/20 wool/nylon
and that Hubby would be the recipient.
My gosh, he hasn't had a new pair of hand-knit sox added to his sock drawer in, what?, months?
It really a nice pattern to knit,
just a short repeat for this
vertical leaf and rib design.
Going cuff down this time 'round
and will do a heel something other than
my most recent method of afterthought heels.
Love me a change up.

Nice pattern!!! Hubby is one lucky guy!!! For more reasons than hand made socks;)
ReplyDeleteA new pattern from Cookie A. Always gets my attention.
DeleteThis is an easy eight row repeat.

Oooh, that's a great design for a man. Perfect color too!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Gail, think of the mods that can be had !!!!!
DeleteHubbies next Ernie Sock will have less cables more stockinet
Lorna's Lace Solemate shows great stitch definition

Here you go again with my colors!!! The design is very nice. Have you tried the heel from Lala's free pattern Socks on A Plane. No wraps and turns and it has a gusset. Oops, I forgot that pattern is toe up. Not sure if you could modify it or not. I'm sure you will find the perfect heel for these socks.
ReplyDeleteWell, Dianna, as I just mentioned to Gail, it is a Lorna's Lace sock yarn
DeleteIt's colorway name is Buckingham Fountain
I've not tried Laura's method yet. Will search it out. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hugs
Gasp! How could you not knit him any socks for so long, his feet are probably freezing! Looks like you will be fixing that quickly, those socks are going to knit up quickly. The stitch pattern looks really fun to knit.
ReplyDeleteGreat design and great color choice for hubby's socks!
