These socks are knit in Posh Yarn's Lucia sock yarn in the April Showers colourway (April's sock club yarn) using 2 x 2.75 mm Inox Grey circs, toe up with short row heels.I thought the colourway went perfectly with the Scrolls pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks. The pattern reminded me of ripples in puddles - very appropriate today as we've had torrential rain for most of the day. This is a 14-row pattern but it knitted up extremely quickly.
They took me 9 days to knit - I made the first sock in April but got sidetracked by other things ;0) and finally finished the other one today.

These are fab!!
gorgeous Linda. I've just put up my version on my blog this evening!! Have to say, I was inspired by your first sock to have a go at the pattern, so many thanks :)
Oooooh lovely socks! I like your May socks, too.
Oh beautiful socks!
Lovely lovely socks! How well does the PY wear though?
Knittynora - PY Lucia washes and wears really well. Although it is suggested to hand wash them, I always put mine through the machine on a 40 degree wash and have never had any problems. I've got a pair I made a year ago (which I wear quite often) and they're still like new, despite going through the machine on a regular basis. Hope this helps. :0)
