This is the 2nd pair of socks in contention for Mom's Christmas gift. From the same book, A Cuff Above, as the Emma Lace Socks and the Ivy Socks I have already completed. This book has more than paid for itself, so glad I bought it.
The yarn for the Lucy socks is Deborah Norville's sock yarn available at AC Moore. I cannot remember how much I paid for it, but it was affordable. It is nice to work with (a little splitty but not bad) and the colorway is gorgeous.
It is self-striping and the non-pink stripes are variegated in gray, green and blue. It is a very subtle, very pretty multi-colored yarn. I am loving how it knits up.
Since these are ankle socks the leg portion is much shorter than normal, although there was a tricky maneuver to invert the sock after the zigzag cuff was done. This pattern has 3 different detailed cuffs you can work for variety. Have I mentioned I love this sock book?
Anyway, I did the cuff and the short leg in 3 nights, hope to construct the heel this weekend!
