The irony in knitting a pattern called Sakura in a down-played beige yarn is not lost on me. I used some stash GGH Elb Sox that is actually a really pretty color in real life. Naturally, the best I could get photo-wise is a shot of them against a grocery store parking lot, but you do the best you can when you need that natural light! A long commute during the week doesn’t do me any favors in that respect.
As expected out of DROPS, this is another well-described lace sock pattern in their succinct technical style. The cuff is a little longer than I expected, but that just makes it less likely to slip off your foot and get caught up in the sheets if you wear them to bed. I goofed a bit and the cuff is a little shorter than is written, but it’s not like anyone would notice. Except for anyone reading this.
Thinking of making another pair in a pink-ish orange yarn to come a little closer to the pattern’s cherry blossom namesake.
