Tour de Sock Round 3

After having so much trouble with the last pair from the competition I was slightly worried about the third pattern coming out. I loved this one! The pattern is Indecisions and it was really enjoyable to knit, lacier than I usually choose to knit my socks but they'll look great with my wardrobe.


The yarn is my hand-dyed, originally intended for my marled fade but was kind of a failed dye job. I was looking for more of a light tan color with the speckles, obviously my over dye was too dark and I came out with more of a brown than tan.  Once I saw the pattern I knew this yarn would work great, it would show off the pattern while also showing off the yarn!


The pattern was really simple to follow and there were written instructions for the leg! Yes! The foot was charted but I was easily able to work with that. I first tried to cable these without a cable needle and didn't enjoy it at all so I just whipped out my cable needle and went to town.

This is the third pattern out of six, I'll have a post up later this week with the the fourth pattern!

  1. I'm loving the yarn and the pattern. This is a really good combination. I'm participating in the BoxosoxKal and am just eking out a pair each month. After December I'd love to do a pattern that is less vanilla. Gorgeous project.

    1. Thanks! I usually am a vanilla sock knitter but this competition has really thrown my out of my comfort zone in a good way. I'm glad I participated but I'm also glad to get back to my regular knitting and designing:) Sierra

  4. Those socks are stunning!! And I love the yarn, that colourway is beautiful- if that's a fail, it's a pretty spectacularly beautiful one!

    1. I've found that the ones that come out as 'fails' for the intended project seem to work out pretty great for others. I'm hoping I'll be able to repeat something similar when I start dyeing:) Sierra
