anyway, here they are lying flat (unblocked):
detail:
i really liked this heel and the way the first round along the gusset is knitted into the back of the loop giving a very neat edge between gusset and heel.
on:
a perfect fit.the pattern is Waving Lace from Interweave Knits 25 Favourite Socks. The yarn is Waratah Fibres Hand Dyed in 3 ply, knitted on 2.25 mm over three needles. I amended the pattern slightly, because the pattern used lornas laces in 4 ply and this yarn was obviously thinner, i upped the stitch count, but i had to up it by a whole lace repeat, so its 8 more stitches than the original (72 i think instead of 64). also, i changed it to knit over three needles instead of four, i cant hold that many needles at once! i just put all the instep stitches on one needle instead of two.
i also did the proper scalloped edge rather than the rib, it took me a while to get used to the yarn over thing and i had to follow the chart closely (ie, write it all out and tick off each line!) but they were surprisingly easy.
i love them. i want to make another pair!
chuffed,

Well done on the socks!
These look great! I love your choice of yarn, and they look like a great fit. Well done on meeting one of your goals - that's a good reason to be 'shiny happy'!
Those surely are some Shiny Happy socks - how could you be angry and resentful while wearing something as pretty as that?
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Fab finished socks!! They look so so great - yay you!
And you go girl with the shiny happy. I think it's a good way to be, albeit sometimes hard to keep up.
Kylie they look so freaking marvellous. Good job! Yay you!
Feelin' the warm, socky, lacey love! :)
Totally gorgeous! I am in complete awe! As I struggle with my very first baby effort with absolutely no frills or fancy bits wahtsoever, your weaving lace with scalloped edge is really blowing my mind!! You da woman! xxx
I love your waving lace socks, they look just perfect. It feels so good when you finish something and it works out well.
Cheers
Gorgeous socks! Definitely a reason to be happy with the world! There'll be no stopping you on the lace socks now!
