The Luminare socks are finished at last. I think I started them some time in September, as I remember being laughed at by ignoramuses on the train, going to the Show. Finished last week, worn a couple of times already and finally photographed today.
All those people who take beautiful artistic shots of their own feet clad in new socks have my utmost admiration. I wrestled with chairs, the self timer and the hoiking up of my pants to show off the socks and took about eleventy gazillion shots before settling for that one. Yes, I am listing to starboard, and yes that is a wardrobe door knob lying on the floor behind me. Also, the shoes need polishing. Let's just say ... keeping it real.
I love these socks. Great pattern, stretchy cably lace (without a cable needle!) and gorgeous yarn bought from The Knittery and hand dyed by me yes I am so very clever. And modest.
Ravelled.

You are SO cute!
All that toil, such a lovely result.
I could never bring myself to place them on my horrid stinky feet.
Glorious colour. I now have knitted sock eny;)
Nice.
I see you opted for the popular gynecological shot to start off. I was thinking the other day how many times I've looked at pictures of people's feet in socks. Sounds like a fetish but really only other sock knitter's can truly appreciate it.
I love them.
I love them with the mary janes.
If I'd made socks as divine as those, I'd have to walk around holding up my pantaloons as well. The world must see those socks!
Such a pretty color!
And design!
It looks complicated though...too much work for someone as lazy as I.
Gorgeous socks! And feh on those who sneered at your KIP. You always cave the coolest shoes.
Love the socks- they look fabulous. And the wardrobe knob is VERY endearing. :)
I adore the colour. I am in awe of the knitting ability. But doesn't wearing them with shoes make your feet all damp and itchy? I can only come at these knitted wonders with the idea of them being worn on their own as you pad around the house reading and playing wordtwist with me.

That top shot almost makes me want to knit another pair of socks. So delectable.
i admire the pattern. ive just started another pair of plain socks. thats all im capable of! lovely colour.
Hi Suse, the socks are divine. I love the colour, the yarn looks silky and you did an excellent job. Fork fingers to the ignoramuses.
The socks are lovely.
The laugh you gave me even lovelier.
Swoon.
We live in the kind of house where wardrobe door knobs hang out on the floor. I am kind of relieved you do too.
Beautiful socks! I particularly like the combination of the color with the pattern.
More socks for me to covet.
Those are stunningly gorgeous socks! And I really love the colours. Nice legs you got there too to show 'em off with. If you don't mind me saying.
Erm, sorry if that was a bit creepy of me. It was wasn't it?
They're beeeeautiful! I love the pattern. I'm sorry for my lack of attention to detail -- the wardrobe knob and shoes had to be pointed out to me -- I was busy admiring the lovely socks. (And if you think those shoes need polishing...well, I'm never showing my shoes!)
Gaw-jus
Just gaw-jus!
I was hoping you'd post where you bought the yarn, so I could go straight and order some myself - and then it turns out that you dyed it yourself? It's just fabulous! And I know what you mean about the photos!
Love those socks!
