I finished the Scrolls socks yesterday. I like 'em a lot. Not so sure about the fiber though. It's a cotton and nylon blend that's pretty easy on the hands but the plies want to separate when there's a decrease, whether it's a K2tog or an SSK, and that causes some problems. You have to really look to see if you've picked up an extra ply or strand. It only took me about a sock and a half to figure this out.
When I finished the first sock and turned it inside out to weave in the ends I was really surprised at the pattern on the inside. The purl side looks like a woven trellis. I wouldn't be surprised if someone hasn't already figured out that this stitch would make a great scarf pattern. I might just do it myself.

Without a doubt - these are the prettiest socks you've knit ever! At least, ever that i have seen. Gorgeous!
These are great. Yup, that would make a good scarf. Great idea!

These are more gorgeous in person and even look great inside out. Beautiful, Larry.
Larry you have knit another pair of wonderful socks. I love the woven trellis look too.
Wonderful Socks! I want to see the scarf when it is done.
I love that stitch pattern & would never, in a million years, have the patience to do it in a pair of socks.
My hats off to you. :)
Love the socks! Be the first and knit a scarf! I did the socks too, but have not noticed how the inside looked.
Larry, I really like the pattern on these socks. The color looks great with it. You're such a wonderful knitter.
They are gorgeous socks, and I agree that it would make a great scarf pattern. :)
