Ta-da! I finished
these with time to spare, which almost never happens! I kitchenered the second toe on Sunday evening and gifted them on Tuesday. The first time I saw this pattern, I knew that I had to knit them for my mum since she loves gardening so much.
The yarn is
Malabrigo Yarn Sock, colorway Lettuce. I bought three skeins of this stuff from my "local" yarn store (it's an hour away, but it was my LYS when I was a student, and I go back every time I'm in the city) last summer. I have big plans for the other two skeins, but I figured I could spare a pair of socks' worth for these. This isn't the fist time I've knit with this yarn, but it's the first time I've made socks with it, and the result is divine. These are so buttery and soft that I almost had to keep them for myself!
My mum loves them, and she's actually looking forward to autumn so she can wear them. I reworked the chart to knit from the top-down, and I'm pretty pleased with how they came out. I love the leaf motif, and I think the pattern works really well with this yarn. They were a ton of fun to knit, and pretty easy, once I had the chart figured out.
