I was so excited to begin the ride, I forgot to take the sock. I decided, oh well, nothing lost; I could shoot the first sock with the soon-to-be completed mate another time in another red rock location, of which Colorado has an abundance.

I finally had a chance to shoot the completed "hiking color" socks with red rock background during the three-day weekend. I'm thrilled with the socks, which are the fourth in a series that will become Christmas presents in just a few months. I love the photo. And I'm already more than halfway through my next pair of socks, this time back to my personal favorite, Noro Kureyon.
I finally found and bought a skein of solid black sock yarn, and I've decided my next pair of "hiking color" socks (yes, I have one more skein) will have black toes, heels and cuffs. They'll look more like cycling socks that way... ha ha ha!
ha ha ha :). Lovely socks and background.
ReplyDeleteOooh, lovely. Picture looks great!
ReplyDeleteI like your colorful socks :)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed you could even get one row in after a day of strenuous biking! Great socks!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those socks! I'm impressed you had any energy left to do any work on them at all! Impressive!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I have never 'crocheted' socks. Your socks are so beautifully made and beautiful to look at, too........that I may have to search for the 'right' pattern and make a pair..
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions?
Thank you, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going have to write a blog post about this particular pattern and the modifications I've made because I do get a lot of questions.
Here is the link to my Ravelry project, and here is the link to the pattern (Season 2, pattern 205).
