[…] Twisted Flower Socks were part of the Single Sock Swap, and Jean of Golden Purl knit the first sock, and then sent me it, the yarn and the pattern. The yarn is Lana Grossa/Meilenweit Seta/Cashmere […]

I’m so thrilled you like the sock and that it fits! I had a really hard time taking pictures of it, too. I’ll admit that I was also intimidated by the pattern. But my blog stalking, er, I mean, reconaissance on you told me you were up for it. Given the complexity of the pattern, I found it nice knowing I only had to knit the one sock. It’s a pattern I had admired for a while, but passed over for being too complex. When you said you liked cables, it seemed like an opportunity to stretch on a pattern where I might otherwise run out of steam. I found this happily in keeping with the theme of the swap, so I went for it. The actual knitting of the sock turned out to be very fun. Round by round, it’s totally manageable while this remarkable pattern is unfolding. But you’re right, it’s not a fast knit. The pattern is very clearly written, though. That said, if you get stuck or confused at all, please let me know and I hope I can help.

P.S. – Compatto is the name of the store where I bought the yarn and pattern. It means “close-knit” in Italian.

I am kind of over socks right now, which is a problem as I have three pairs wanting to be finished. But that twisted flower sock is so pretty. Must. Fight. Startitis.

Brenda- I think at this stage in your knitting career, you’re definitely up for a challenge, and the twisted flower may be just what you’ve been looking for.

So many yarns, so many patterns…………………..

The Twisted Flower sock is really stunning! But I have to admit that I really like a nice ribbed sock for everyday…

Aww, I hope you feel better soon.
Wow, what a great sock, and you only have to knit one of them. I am sure you will knit it with no difficulty at all.

I love the Hercules colorway. My sister gifted some of that to me and it is one of my favorite Fleece Artist colors.

Feel Better!!!!!
