I really need a second opinion here, even though I've already made up my mind. This is the first gnome sock I knitted (knat?) and I am in serious doubt whether I should even try making the second one. I already have two acryl/wool mix yarns lying around for more socks, it's just a matter of casting on stitches because this is a nice timewaster hobby.

With actual dress to be worn draped over it:

Gnomensok
Gnome sock in cobalt puke
and headache pink.


I think the colours don't match well enough. What do you think?

(Yay, I turned a heel!)

I think the colours of the skirt a bit more washed out than those of the sock, but is that bad? I think the sock looks really nice.

It looks washed out because the mirror isn't clean. Apart from each other, the blue matches the dress and the pink matches well enough (but not quite) but when you put it all together it really shows how much it doesn't match.

I also made my pattern exactly to my measurements, so unless I tie ribbons to the top they will slide down. But ribbons are gnome-proof!
I'm not convinced though, let's see how I feel after my first real pair of real socks!

Misschien een advies waar je iets mee kunt ? In wol- en sommige fourniturenwinkels (enop de markt) kun je brei-elastiek kopen. Dat is heel dun kleurloos elastiek dat je meebreit in de boorden. Dan heb je niet zo snel meer het probleem van afzakkende sokken/kousen.

Dat betekent wel gelijk dat ik de boord (en dus de hele sok?) overnieuw moet breien...

dat is inderdaad wel erg veel werk. De tip kun je dan beter bewaren voor een ander paar kousen.
Wat je wel kunt doen is heel dun elastiek aan de binnenkant door de boord rijgen. Als je dat doet door de lusjes van de rechte steken (de V-tjes) dan zul je er aan de buitenkant niet veel van zien.

Succes, Marti

The socks turned out really nice - well done.

Indeed they don't really match with the rest of the outfit. The question is not whether you mind, though. It's whether your character minds :-) Is she fashion conscious?

Probably not, but that's a valid point you make right there!

Why should they match! Liesel likes it!
She would make a second one in green/yellow.
