16 Shazam Socks

Finally, finally, finally, I remembered both camera and socks when both photographer and attractive scenery were available!

These spring-y, lacy socks are knit from the toe up, with a reverse flap heel and a picot hem at the cuff. The lace pattern is number 16 from Knitting Lace: A Workshop with Patterns and Projects, by Susanna E. Lewis, and the heel technique is adapted from New Pathways for Socks Knitters, by Cat Bordhi.
