June’s Sock Club
Now that the postal service has finally delivered all packages to their intended destinations, I think it’s safe to reveal June’s Club goodies without ruining anyone’s surprise. This month’s pattern is one I’m especially proud of, so I hope all the clubsters enjoy working on it.
Pemberley, as most of you probably know, is the English country estate of a certain Mr. Darcy. Didn’t we all have secret dreams of finding our own Mr. Darcy? My own dear hubby is quite a bit like ol’ Darcy – biting observation and quiet admiration and loyalty, minus the grand estate (darn it!)
These silk stockings are what I imagine Elizabeth Bennett might have worn as the Mistress of Pemberley. They are elegant, luxurious and out-of-the-ordinary without being over-the-top. A blend of merino with the silk lends a more practical warmth to these beauties, as well. Of course, if you’re a modern woman who isn’t living in a drafty estate house and don’t require the warmth of knee stockings, there’s the (quicker to knit!) crew length option.
Can’t wait till all the July packages arrive so I can reveal this month’s rollickin’ pattern and yarn!
I’ve awarded you:) as you have always inspired me – and your patterns got me started knitting soakers!
