Phew, finally finished these. I love the yarn. Like the result. Why, then, did I manage to knit these for several months? Well, the pattern stitch was somewhat frustrating: too simple to keep a knitter amused, but easy to make annoying mistakes when not concentrating on knitting. Grrr…

Thinner yarn would produce lovely daytime kneehighs. But I have hard time to imagine other shaping than going down with needle size with this pattern.

I like the slouchy leg for bedtime socks, but some ribbing behind the ankle would have been nice to keep the heel at place.

Pattern closeup. Gonna change those ribbons to velvet ones, when I find right one. Pattern was a true yarn consumer - had to buy some more yarn, from different lot. Colour difference is easy to spot, fortunately I managed to disguise the join to pattern change on toe.

Pattern: Bed Socks from Romantic Style (Jennie Atkinson). I guess this is the same book than Beads, buttons and lace, this is way cheaper (in Finland, at least).
Yarn: Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk dk, MMMM, just over 3 balls, EEEK!
Needles: 3,5 mm
Adjustments: Didn’t like the heel (too low, ugly) of the pattern, end up frogging it. So, below the ankle the pattern comes from my head. Yarn is not the same, actually the needles are not what the pattern tells…
