FO: Brigit Socks

Brigit Leg Detail

Pattern: Brigit, my own pattern available here
Yarn:The Knitting Goddess 4ply superwash wool yarn (100% merino wool, 360m/100g) 1 x 100g in “Chilli Pepper”
Needles: 2.5mm Knitpicks metal circs

Designing socks gives me the chance to try out so many different yarns, and it’s such a hardship. ;-)

The mixture of hot pinks, red and oranges in this colourway made me think of fire and heat (and the name is a bit of a giveaway…) and from that I created socks for Brigit, the Celtic goddess of fire.

Brigit Heel Detail

Designed to be knit using the Magic Loop method, these socks are definitely good for lace addicts. :-) The flickering lace pattern extends down to the heel flap of the socks and there are bobbles to add texture.
