So, I've been quite productive over the past few months, and have another test-knit call now live!
This pattern is the Ice Cream Sundae Socks, and these are slated as the third-quarter release for the Pattern Muses on Patreon! These socks have been in development for a bit, and actually underwent a change of yarn partway through my prototyping. But, I'm really happy with how they turned out, and I'm glad to have them up for testing!
These socks are stretchy ribbed lace socks designed for fingering-weight yarn. They are knit cuff down, using a gusset and heel flap. The toes are seamed with Kitchener Stitch.
The sample was knit on *2 mm double-pointed needles, but the pattern is written that they could easily be knit using magic loop or two circulars, if you wanted. Also, the socks are designed to have a bit of negative ease, since the lace and ribbing is so stretchy. If you wanted slightly larger socks, you could easily go to 2.25 mm needles and a slightly larger tension. The yarn I used is *Blue Moon Fiber Arts Super Sparkle, but any sock yarn should work well for these socks. With these socks, you can go for a bit more variegated, since the pattern helps break up the colours of the yarn.
If people are interested, sign ups are here on the Ravelry Thread! You will have to be a Ravelry.com member to view and post to the thread, but sign up is free.
The deadline for this test is July 24, 2018. Testers who complete the test will receive the finished pattern for free, as well as one pattern of their choice from my self-published patterns. Please note that you only have to finish one sock to count for the test!
Also, if you want to be notified on Ravelry about new test knits, you can PM me on Ravelry to sign up in my test-knitter's thread. I'll also post test-knit calls here, to my other social media platforms (Facebook, G+, Patreon, Instagram ), and, I'll send out test-knit calls to those on my mailing list, as well, so hopefully, anyone who's interested will see my test-knit calls.
Well, I hope you would consider being a tester! And, if this test doesn't strike your fancy, I have a few more on the way, so something upcoming will hopefully be more to your style. As always, thanks for reading, and stay tuned!
