Austrian Socks

Hello knitters, first time for me on a blog. Have enjoyed looking at your projects. Am wondering if anyone has successfully finished the Austrian socks . I have been having problems with the pattern. Not exactly a novice but I have been out of the loop for some years. My daughter loaned me the book to try some patterns. Look forward to some advice.

Finally I Have Pictures

Here are some of my socks I knitted from Favorite Socks. I used handpainted yarns for some.

Cable Rib and Go with the Flow



Hello, I've been looking at everyone's lovely socks here for a while and have finally got around to sharing the two projects I have completed from the book. My name is Karen by the way and I live in Scotland.




The Cable rib socks were a Christmas present for my Dad and he's really pleased with them (but he's always pleased with the socks I knit for him!).




The Go with the Flow socks are for me. I liked the pattern but I'm not keen on the colour. Details of the yarns used on my blog. I'm not sure which pattern to try next but at some point I plan to use some bright pink yarn I have for either Embossed Leaves or Waving Lace - decisions, decisions. Happy knitting!
