I forgot to mention when I wrote about my visit to the Benediktbeuren textile market the knitting project that I took with me. As expected, I couldn’t spend a weekend among other knitters, in a textile fair, without knitting myself, could I?
I didn’t want to take something too big, so I just took some malabrigo sock yarn planning to knit a pair of socks for myself; since I didn’t find any sock pattern that I liked, I improvised as I knit to create the socks as I wanted them, with a mirrored lace pattern and some increases at the beginning of the heel so I would have enough room for it.

I’m really happy with the result, as the socks are very comfortable and not just pretty. I might regret making them so short when I face the chill of winter, but I wanted to leave myself enough to knit another pair of socks…
