Whit's Knits: Tulip Socks

Thursday

26Jun2008

These are very basic socks with some not-so-basic fair isling around the leg. This tulip garden was so much fun to design that I made a Design Your Own Fair Isle Tutorial so that you can indulge your creative impulses too!

Whether you choose to follow my design or create your own, knitting in fair isle is an exciting challenge with such rewarding results. You'll definitely look at your finished socks and think, "I knit those?! I'm good!"

Very creative! I love the yarn choice and colors. I'm sure your mother loved them. I appreciate the Fair Isle tutorial. Thank you!

These are wonderful and I'm dying to knit them, but I'm hesitant. I have only knit one pair of socks (pom pom peds, actually) and have never attempted fair isle. And I have questions- When you're knitting the fair isle portion, you don't make any cuts, you keep all the colors running? When you're finished does the inside of the sock have connected lines running everywhere? I'm afraid I won't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. Thank you!
