Slanted Saami

I finished these fabulous socks on Boxing Day. They were my Sockdown December socks, and the marriage of yarn and pattern is great. This colourway is not subtle, but this simple pattern lets it work. And yes, I love flashing.*

• Pattern: Slant, by Hunter Hammerson
• Yarn: Wollmeise 100% Superwash in “Saami”
• Needles: 2.5mm for the leg, 2.25mm for heel and foot
• Modifications: Added an extra repeat on the leg, although it still ended up shorter than my normal socks.
• Memories: These were cast on and almost finished on my Noosa holiday this year, and are my first Wollmeise project.

*Flashing: When hand-painted yarns cause colours to stack and swirl. Also called pooling, but I think that sounds more negative.
