Stripey socks
I made these perfectly sitting socks in Regia Silk Color, a machine washable 4 ply yarn which contains 20% silk, making the fabric incredibly soft, and which encourages great dye colour retention. I can't find this colourway online right now, but you can see the colours ..... I used a 2x2 rib for the cuff, a short row heel and a matched decreases toe, on 2.25mm bamboo dpns, with a 60 stitch cast on. They are knitted to my own pattern, which is a combination of the elements I like best from other patterns. They fit perfectly! I am really pleased with the results - lovely firm fabric which I am sure will last a good while, small neat stitches and no evidence of needle joins. Aaaaaaaah. So satisfying!

Very nice! My Regia Silk socks are one of my favourite pairs. I must knit some more. :-)

Beautiful! I love the colorway. Springy, yet subdued.
