Twisted Loops

After finishing the Phyllo Yoked pullover, I decided to do a little holiday knitting.  My mom had asked for a sweater, but didn’t give me her measurements until two weeks before Christmas.  I knew that there was no way I would be able to knit it for her in time - plus I didn’t have the right yarn.  So, I decided to knit her a pair of socks instead. 

After looking through my sock stash, I settled on the Pink Granite colorway of the Socks that Rock Mediumweight that I had in the stash.  While browsing for patterns, I saw a note on Ravelry that the Go with the Flow socks were a quick knit.  Knowing that I had two weeks to knit the socks, I decided to give the pattern a try.  The person posting that comment was right.  These were a very quick knit.

Pattern modifications:

• I knit an Eye of Partridge heel flap on the sock instead of the pattern heel flap.   
• This wasn’t knit exactly to the specified gauge, but it still fits fine.

Pattern notes:

• This is the fastest pair of socks that I’ve ever knit.  Eight days from start to finish - I still can’t believe that I finished them so quickly.
• The pattern is easy to knit, but looks much more complex.
• I like the combination of lace and ribbing.  The lace provides a nice detail, while the ribbing provides an allowance for sizing and fit.
