Blue Socks Finished!
It has been so hard to focus on these socks. I've been itching to cast-on for my new shawl, but since these are a gift I knew I needed to finish the socks first. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of sock knitting. I cast on for these Saturday evening and was weaving the toe Monday night. Usually it takes me a week (sometime two) to make one plain sock like this. I'm falling in love with self striping yarns. I love the pattern on these socks and all I had to do was knit a vanilla sock. (I really love that the colors make twisted stripes so I didn't have to worry too much about my strips matching.)

Congrats on the finished socks! Self-striping yarn is so very nice to be sure. :) Have fun with the shawl!
ReplyDeleteThanks. This is my first time working with a hand painted yarn and I'm loving how the shawl is looking.
DeleteI still have never attempted socks. Yours are beautiful and give your husband a hug from all of us knitting wives. A husband who helps wind is better than a swift any day!

Thank you. You really should attempt socks. They're so fun and since they're a light weight, small project their great for summer knitting.
