A Bluestocking Knits

Crumbs, it's been a while.  I keep thinking, "dear oh dear, I really should post — I even have a few actually-finished knits!" and then, alas, nothing.  I thought that once both of the girls were in school all day, I would have loads of time, but it seems to be quite the opposite. 

But here are some Primavera Socks by Natalja of s(t)ockinette.  This pattern has apparently been around for a while, but was new to me when I saw it this past spring — can't remember where now, unfortunately.

I like these socks very much.  It's a nice pattern, simple but just enough interest to keep it from being a dull knit, and the results are very pretty.  You can hardly ask for more from a pattern, really.  (I should have gone with my instincts, though, and made my usual generous toe.  The one as written is too slender for my extra-wide feet.)

I didn't care much for knitting with the ProNatura, as it was quite splitty, but now that it's done — and worn several times — I put that pleasantly behind me.

Love the acanthus-like bas-relief effect —
