Embossed Leaves Love
I just finished these last night and I couldn't wait to take pics and say that they were done. I LOVED KNITTING THESE! It was my first time doing a lace and charted pattern and it was soooo much fun! I am thrilled with the fit on these and the yarn was a dream to work with. Without further ado, my Embossed Leaves aka My SAM KAL 5 March St. Patty's socks.(click to make any picture bigger)
Specs:
Pattern: Embossed Leaves by Mona Schmidt from IK Winter 2005
Yarn: Dream In Color Smooshy in Happy Forest
Needles: Knit Picks DPNs in Size 1 1/2
Mods: I used the heel from this pattern from Favorite Socks, instead of the suggested short row heel in the magazine pattern. A big thanks to Melana for sharing.
Notes: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sock yarn so much. This is my new fav. It's so beautiful...the pics couldn't do it justice and it is so soft and smooshy. I'm glad I have more in my stash!

Beauties!! Love the toes and the color :)
Absolutely gorgeous socks. I just love the hint of yellow in there with all the green.
So beautiful!!!! I love them. I should knit the pattern again - my pair felted a bit, so I don't wear them often because they are hard to get on and off.
Those are some beautiful socks. Nice job!
cute! these irish eyes are smiling at ya.
Wowee! you could not have picked a better yarn/pattern combination! they are just beautiful!
congrats on a lovely new pair:o)

The Dream In Color yarns are currently my favorites right now.
Love, love, love. Simply perfect.
beautiful! i love your shots of the toes and sides. besides a twisted stitch cuff, the toes are my absolute favorite part of these socks.
and glad i could help!
They are adorable. The toe is really neat.
I love the yarn. Is it really as smooshy as one would think?
Your socks are amazing! I have three skeins of Smooshy in my stash, waiting for the right pattern.
