Bayerische

Bayerische Socks have been in my queue for a long while. When I noticed that the February 2008 theme in Sockdown: Ravelry! is Eunny Chang, I figured it’d be a perfect chance to cast on this project.

On Raverly, there are lots of warnings of bent or broken needles or even sprained wrists. Apparently that’s not enough of a challenge cause what do I do? I up the ante by working the socks two-at-a-time on a circular while trying to convert them to toe-up.

 
 But they are very, very pretty.

I didn’t want the yarn to clash with the stitch pattern so I chose something really uncomplicated and light-colored. ONline Supersocke Silk (55% new wool/20% silk/25% polyamide) was the perfect choice. It’s very soft but with a great twist and the silk gives a great sheen. The twisted stitches really pop up in this yarn!
