How perfect is that?! The yarn looks absolutely lovely, and the socks are divine.

Beautiful yarn, pattern, photos, and socks! They look fantastic!

Your socks are gorgeous! I was thinking of using the Lenten Rose yarn for another pattern thinking the original pattern was too lacy, but seeing yours I am now inclined to knit the pattern sent by Sundara….absolutely fabulous!

Beautiful.

Wow, Brooke, you REALLY need to stop inspiring me with all of your gray beauties!! I have already purchased some Beaverslide cottontail because of you-I am thinking Katharine Hepburn cardi from Lace Style? I haven’t purchased Lace Style yet, so haven’t swatched, but I want that combo to be a perfect match–fingers are crossed. Good thing I CAN’T go buy the Lenten Rose yarn, because I would, right now, if I could. Such beauties you have on your needles.

Oh! So pretty! It’s terribly fun to see these knit up. I hope you enjoy wearing them as well.

Your socks are so classy in this grey. Now I’m beginning to think that I need not save the grey yarn for socks for my husband, the grey can be for me too. heehee, that doesn’t leave him with anymore sock yarn 🙂

Beautiful photos of beautiful socks.

Those are lovely socks in a lovely yarn. What a lucky knitter you are!

I wanted to cast mine on but now I just can’t wait. The yarn is such a pretty colour and seems to change depending on the light. Which, at this time of the year, changes a lot.

oh i missed this post! these are just absolutely the most gorgeous socks.
insert serious envy here!!!!!!

Beautiful socks and photography. I love your yarn choices – you have exquisite taste.

That’s such a beautiful sock pattern (and yarn). Generally I haven’t felt like I missed anything by not belonging to “yarn of the month” clubs, but I would have digned up for the Petals collection just for these socks alone!

Those are gorgeous! Tell me, do they stay up pretty well? Are those oh-so-cute ribbons merely decorative, or do they actually help keep the socks up?
