The pattern is Twinkleberry, designed by Beth LaPensee for Knitzi.com. I substituted a stockinette heel and flat toe for the short row versions in the original pattern. The yarn is Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Cotton Stretch in colour 8006. It was the first time I knit with stretch yarn and it took me some getting used to it. I was continually worried I might overstretch the yarn and end up with tiny, bulletproof socks, but in the end I’m quite happy with the results.
Part of these socks was knitted in the back of various Jordanian taxis during my vacation. If you plan to ride a taxi in Jordan I can only recommend to bring some knitting to distract you from the style of driving cultivated there as well as from the fact that seat belts are only mandatory for the driver and because of that often non-existent in the back seat…
