Embossed Leaves Socks

From the Interweave Winter '05.


Normally I don't do socks because I get bored. There's a great article in the most recent knitty about how to double knit (without crossing so you're sort of knitting two things at the same time) socks, which is like the only actual good thing about knitty this season (we'll get to that later), but mostly I get bored.

I really liked the star-shaped decrease pattern, and it was my first time doing a pattern with a lace bit all the way down the foot while simultaneously working the gusset. It's alright. I think I am going to use nicer yarn next time.

I'm wearing these today because I'm out of white athletic socks. They're nice, but my feet are kind of hot.
