I have been hiding these for a while but the postman has done his job and they have arrived at a Graveyard in Surrey. After mailing them I realised that I had (as usual) neglected to take proper photos so here is all I have…
Pattern: Baudelaire, by Cookie A.
Yarn: Knitwitches Sock Yarn (75% wool / 25% polyamide) I can’t find the label but I’m guessing the colour is pink :-P.
Modifications: I tweaked the top of the sock a bit to have the pattern flow neatly into a 2×2 rib. All that was necessary was to do a 3 st cross with the cables at each side.
This was my first toe-up heel flap sock and Cookie’s instructions are beautifully clear. I will definitely be using this method again on a toe-up sock, and will probably knit myself some Baudelaires in the future too.

Tis very yum. The Graveyard Bunny will certainly approve. :)

What a lovely sock! Before I read the text, I thought it was the end of a glove because it’s delicate. Beautiful!

Fab colour. These are definitely on my sock ‘to do’ list.

Lucky warm footed bunny! What lovely socks. Not sure if that’s in my queue yet, but I guess it should be. :-)

these look fabulous. My daughter is a big fan of the Lemony Snicket books and I think that Violet Baudelaire would definitely wear these. Must tackle a sock soon.
