Sockapalooza 4 Update
In an effort to avoid the dastardly and contagious Second Sock Syndrome, I’ve already cast on for Mona sock number two immediately after grafting the toe and weaving in the ends of numero uno, shown here:
I was initially concerned about the marriage of the (even subtly) variegated yarn with this pattern but I have to admit that my fears were unfounded. Melissa’s yarn is a joy to work with: no knots, nice twist and soft on the hands.
Now that I’ve got the hang of the pattern, sock number two should (hopefully) be a snap!
(Did I hear someone say, “Jinx?”)
Lovely sock!
Your Mona sock turned out beautifully! I love how the pattern works so well with the variegated yarn.
It’s gorgeous! Thanks for showing off how it looks knit with a variegated yarn.
mona’s first sock is divine!! and thanks for sharing the link to Melissa’s yarn – although i’m on a ‘yarn diet’. 😉
Criss cross applesauce – double unjinx for your second sock! It is lovely, and I think that pattern is great with the colorway. Good job!

Melissa has some nice yarns. I like her subtle hued reds. Thanks for the link.
Beautiful job on the sock.
Thank you so much! You guys are too kind.
I just LOVE this pattern — very pretty socks!
very pretty sockage! Here’s to keeping SSS away from your home.
Green socks. Lime and chartreuse and melon and apple and emerald and pea and shamrock socks. Verdant, viridian.
Gorgeous!
Love the yarn, colour and pattern!
Very nice match! You can really see how well the pattern pops with this yarn and colorway. Lucky lucky pal!
I love how the sock is turning out. The sock yarn is beautiful and it looks good in that pattern. Feel free to send those socks on to me! 🙂
the yarn and pattern really complement each other well. Fabulously knit!!
That is amazing! I saw that in the variegated, and immediately wanted that pattern. It wasn’t until I followed the link that I realised it was the one and only Cookie A pattern that had made me say “Meh”. In the variegated greens, it is just gorgeous! In the red on Cookie’s site, it did nothing for me (and I love red).
so pretty!
Are you my sockpal? Love the sock!! Beautiful pattern and very well done by you!
Pretty. I love the subtle shades of the yarn.
I really love how this sock turned out. I’m going to be perusing Melissa’s yarns for a colourway that might suit a pair of my own. This is the second time that you’ve led me to a wonderful etsy vendor. I’m not sure if I should thank you or curse you. 😉
Pretty! The combination of flowing lines and lively green is quite nice.
