Sweetheart Socks

Pattern:
Sweetheart Socks
Nikol Lohr

Yarn:
Rustic Tweed
Brown

I absolutely can't stand knitting socks. However, my mom loves knitted socks and has been begging me to make her a pair for at least three years now. So for Christmas, I broke down and made her this pair. I loved the heart cable pattern and the fact that I could use a light worsted weight yarn. They knit up pretty quickly, and were not that difficult. I used the heel turn that Wendy used here because on Ravlery, everyone was saying that they didn't like the afterthought heel. If I was going to make this again however, I'd definitely put in ribbing at the ankle instead of just leaving it stockinette. Overall, I think they turned out pretty cute even though they are my first completed pair and my mom said she loves them!

They fit!!!

Hearts!
