One of my knitting goals this year was to try to knit something inspired by just a photo. I'm always looking for some inspiration for different color combos. I finally found the perfect socks for inspiration in the current Eddie Bauer catalog. Aren't these lovely? They're only $14 which is probably cheaper than my yarn costs and they even have a rubber sole.






I'll make up some patterns as I go along using sport weight yarn. I hate the way short row heels fit so I won't do that. I do like the pompom ties around the cuff so I will do that. The colors of these socks are much more vibrant in the catalog.

Next week I'll show you the yarn colors I chose for both pairs in Norwegian sport wool and Brown Sheep Nature Spun sport weight.
