Entrelac Socks

I finally finished these #$%&&$ socks! Their completion marks a triumph against the longest bout of dreaded SSS with which I've wrestled.



I used the Buttercupia Noro Entrelac sock pattern, downloadable on Ravelry. I sort of like entrelac. I don't exactly love doing it, but I like the way it looks enough to do it anyway. Noro sock yarn works perfectly because of those long color runs that enhance the basketweave effect. I have a pattern in my queue for a matching bag. I don't know that I'd go to all the trouble of making another pair of entrelac socks out of a single ply yarn like this, but I may give the bag a try soon.








































The completed socks aren't perfect, but good enough for me. There was an error (or more accurately a typo) on one line of the pattern in the ending round of triangles. When I first started these way back when, I was not as good a fudger as I am now. The sock I made nearly two years back has these weird bubbly spots in that round where I was trying to work my way through. The second sock looks much better. I briefly considered frogging the foot of the first sock back to where the triangles and reworking it...but after finally getting these off of my needles, I couldn't do it. Live and learn.
