Evening Stockings for a… umm… Lady
Evening Stockings for a Young Lady
by Nancy Bush
Pattern source: Knitting Vintage Socks / Nancy Bush
Yarn: Rowan 4 Ply Soft, 3 x 50 g, in shade Victoria
Needles: 2,5 mm
Oi, näistä tuli ihanat! Tykkään kovasti! Sukat istuvat jalkaan oikein hyvin, ja lankakin vaikuttaa ihan pätevältä sukkalangalta. Ja väri on täydellinen.
I'm so pleased with these socks. Everything's perfect: the fit, the yarn, the colour – I'm one happy knitter today!
Ohjeesta ei moitteen sanaa. Pieniä muokkauksia: pidensin vartta seitsemällä (!!!) mallikerralla (mulla on ihan tavalliset suomalaiset töpöjalat, joten ehkä nämä ovat oikeasti tarkoitettu nuorille neideille), kantalappuun kudoin vähemmän kerroksia (ohjeessa niitä oli 40, mikä on mielestäni aika paljon, itse tein 32) ja kärkeen lisäsin kavennuskerrosten väliin muutamia kerroksia, koska ohjeen kärki oli omaan jalkaani vähän liian nopeasti kapeneva.
I have no complaints about the pattern. I made just some minor modifications: I made the leg longer by adding 7 (!) pattern repeats (my legs are not that long – maybe these really are meant for young ladies), shortened the heel flap (34 rows instead of 40 in the pattern), and in the toe I added some rows between the decrease rows, because the toe as written was too round for my feet.
Nyt olisi oikein mukava lähteä uusissa sukissa puistoon rauhalliselle kävelylle, pysähtyä ehkä kahville jonnekin, ja nauttia kauniista syyspäivästä… Korvan juuresta taukoamatta kuuluva manku tietää kuitenkin leikkipuistoreissua, joten pitsisukat ja samettihame saavat tällä kertaa jäädä kotiin. :-) Mukavaa lauantaita kaikille!
In the dream world I would now leave for a little peaceful walk in the park, wearing my new lace stockings and matching velvet dress. I would have a cup of coffee somewhere and just enjoy the lovely day… In the real world however, Onni has been whining the whole time I've been writing this, so I guess it's time to change my fancy dress for something more appropriate for playground. :-) Happy Saturday for all of you!

Oih kun hienot! Olen arponut tekisinkö nuo vai Fancy Silk Sockit seuraavaksi mutta tämän jälkeen ehdottomasti nuo ja tummasta langasta.
Amerikkalaisissa ohjeissa tuntuu aina olevan korkeat kantalaput, itsekin melkein poikkeuksetta lyhennän niitä. Onkohan heidän jalkateränsä huomattavasti rintavampi verrattuna meihin pohjan peräläisiin?
Upeat! Malli- ja lankavalintasi ovat aina niin kovin kauniita.
Lovely socks! They fit perfectly and I adore the color.
Nice! and in my favorite color.
Aivan ihanat!
Beautiful socks! They're perfect for autumn.
Kauniit ja upea väri!
Mielettömän upeat kaikin puolin!
Erittäin kauniit sukat!
Hyvä tietää, että Rowan 4 ply soft tuntuu toimivan hyvin myös sukissa, sillä lankaa löytyy lankavarastostani entuudestaan useammassa värissä.
Those are truly perfect. I think I must find my copy of that book!
these are so beautiful ! you're forcing me to pull this book off the shelf because of their gorgeousness!
Those are so beautiful. And the pictures show them off perfectly.
Kauniit sukat! Värikin on ihanan syksyinen.
Ihanat sukat ja kaunis väri, sopii tähän vuodenaikaan!
Beautiful!! I'm amazed that you needed to add 7 pattern repeats though, that's one big modification.
Beautiful! I love the eggplant color!
these are so beautiful, terhi! if you ever tire of them you know where you can send them ;-)
I love everything about those socks - great job!
Really lovely. Great matching of yarn and colour with pattern.
Ovatpas ne hienostuneet, varsinkin tuon hameen kanssa just hienot kävelylle! Ihana väri!

Gorgeous! Michele
You always manage to pull off socks that are detailed without being fussy, and colours that are rich without being loud. I LOVE the socks you knit. This is just the latest in a long line of stunners. Wow!
Oh, miten sievät!!
They look amazing, Congrats!
What a luscious shade of purple. And I have a new career suggestion for you: foot model!! You always strike such a fetching pose:)
Beautiful socks! If only we could all live in our dream world! But alas, mine is like yours and right now I have a huge houseful of kids getting ready for a party. sigh.
I have made this pattern twice and love the look and the knitting. I just want to warn you the 4 ply soft (my favorite yarn) is not superwash as some might lead you to believe. The socks are beautiful!
Another gorgeous pair of socks. I think perhaps these are my favourite that you have made so far.
Congratulations, that's absolutely gorgeous!
oh, i vote for your dream world! maybe soon. those are so beautiful they deserve a velvet dress and a lovely cup of coffee. maybe even a dashing and mysterious waiter.
The socks are wonderful! You always make such good patter & yarn choices when it comes to socks. Do you have a "formula"? (Really, I want to know how you do it, so I can do it, too!).
Bee-yoo-ti-ful!! They are amazing...and must feel amazing on, too. =)
So pretty! I like your dream too. It sounds lovely and relaxing. (Maybe in the dream the children would wear starched white clothes with ribbons and play nicely with their vintage toys while you sipped your coffee.)
I love them! Perfect indeed! :)
Wow, these are absolutely gorgeous! I love them as tall socks -- will have to re-consider this pattern!
Ah, taas upean näköiset sukat ja kauniit kuvat!
Upeat! Sulla on kyllä niin hyvä "sukkasilmä", osaat aina valita upeita sukkamalleja ja niihin täydellisesti sopivia lankoja!
Tulin katsomaan verkkokassin ohjetta, mutta nämä sukat taitavat viedä voiton.
They are prefect! I'm glad that you find Rowan 4 ply great for socks. I can get this yarn easily her and I have been wondering whether it is suitable for socks.
They're gorgeous! I knit a pair of these and knit them as written, they *are* very short (too short for wear without falling down, unfortunately!)
You should be one happy knitter Tehri, they are amazing.
I'm glad they sent you into a lovely dream world too, even if it was only briefly :)
v. beautious, terhi!
So beautiful!
those are beautiful. another one to add to my list! i always seem to want to make knee socks out of all the Nancy Bush patterns!
I LOVE them. You always take the best pictures that make me want everything you knit. I must have these socks. Now.
those are absolutely gorgeous.
Wow, this is amazing work!
Love the colour too!
That does it. Now I MUST have that book, after putting off buying it all this time.
They're incredible.
Loved the background story, too. Treat yourself to that walk and a cup of coffee sometime, will you?
Beautiful, beautiful socks!! Very elegant indeed.
I'm so pleased to have discovered your blog. Every time I visit I find a little corner of peace, joy and beauty. Lovely, lovely, lovely socks.

I had not seen the potential in those socks, they are beautiful and fit you perfectly! I want one pair for myselfee
That shade of purple is so lovely. Beautiful combination with that sock pattern! I want a pair just like that... :)
Olen käynyt jo pariin otteesen ihailemassa sukkiasi. Väri on täyttä herkkua!
Onpa kyllä hirmuisen kauniit sukat. Ja nuo muutkin tekosesi, sinulla on tyylitajua. Jotenkin samaan aikaan simppeliä ja hienostunutta ja rehellistä. Hurjaa, oikeasti, mä en sitten tässä ole vain kohtelias.
Gorgeous! I have that book, but haven't really noticed that pattern. It's definitely going on my to-knit list!
Very pretty, Terhi! You and your long socks... They're always lovely.
Jälleen kerran, kiitos ja kumarrus ihanista kommenteistanne! :-)
Again, thank you so much for your wonderful comments! :-)
Kauniit sukat!
