A Sock Has Sprung

Sprung Sock and Daffodil

After much hemming and hawing I finally settled on a K4P2 ribbing for the top of my Curious Yarns "Sprung" sock. It seemed to be the right combination of simplicity and compatibility with the leg pattern. And it fits pretty well, too.

I'm pleased with the overall look of the sock. I think the pattern stitch is well matched to the delicate colors and the open/airy pattern makes for the right weight and warmth for a spring and summer sock. A number of folks asked for more information about the pattern. The whole sock is really quite simple. When I complete the second sock, I'll put the outline together and make it available to everyone and anyone who wants to try it out for themselves.

It's very pretty and I love the color.

Very nice and springy! Completely off topic, but I was listening to it's a purl, man's podcast yesterday and he mentioned a tutorial you'd put up. Of course I can't remember exactly what he was talking about, now that I'm typing, but it was neat to hear!

Thanks for the peek at spring. I've got nothing but cold and really soggy here.

Oh, please do! (Like you have nothing else to do right now.) The absolute perfect combination of pattern and color.

So pretty. It makes me want to cry that I can't find that yarn.

Ooh, it's so pretty!! That's some seriously gorgeous sock-age.

I was wondering if you might answer a quick question: I am about to finish my first toe-up sock like, today, but am struggling with the bind-off. Is there a tutorial or something you used/can recommend? I'm all paranoid about it being too tight, and so am kind of flailing about.

Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!

Love it. In fact, I love it so much I ordered the stitch dictionary you referenced from amazon.jp. I would order the yarn too if it were possible.

That is one of my very favorite colors--that spring green! And the pattern is just beautiful too. Thanks for posting such a happy picture!

What a gorgeous sock! I'd love to make that (and I'm not really a sock person), so I'm looking forward to the pattern! Thanks for sharing!
