Grasmere Socks 🧦

I bought some sock yarn back in June last year on our holiday to Grasmere, I actually bought it in Keswick, but I’ve decided that these will be my Grasmere socks! I made two pairs of socks at the end of last year for Christmas presents, the second pair were rather rushed and had to be knitted on my breaks at work as they were a pair of secret socks! After that, I wanted to make a pair for myself again, as hand knitted socks feel so lovely to wear. I also wanted a bit of a challenge on this pair, so I decided to add some cables down the front. I used Winwick Mums Easy Cable Socks pattern, and I don’t know why I thought these would be harder, as I found them to be a breeze! I definitely think having the two cables down the front made things easier, as it broke the knitting up a bit, rather than just using a knit stitch all the time. I used King Cole Zig Zag sock yarn in the colour way Autumn Glory. It knits up so lovely, the colours are so vivid, and I got lots of comments whilst I was knitting! 

This is the first sock finished! I love it so much! Now I’m off to knit the second sock as I will look rather odd with just one sock on!
