I’m apparently better at knitting and finishing things than I am about blogging about them. I have two finished pairs of socks to show.
I finished these about a month ago.
Those are for John. The yarn is Zen Yarn Garden Squooshy Sock, color Anna Grace. This is lovely yarn, though the color is one of those that is difficult to photograph accurately. It’s a summer sky blue, but looks more aqua in some of the photos.
I finished the second pair over the weekend. These are for me.
I love, love, love these. This is Opal sock yarn, the color is from their 25 years of Opal Jubilee Collection (#11047 if you are looking for it). Those colors will brighten up the gloomiest day.
Both pairs are my own basic pattern, top down, 72 stitches, heel flap and gusset, knit on 2.00 mm double point needles.
Here is the newly started pair.
The yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Sparkle sock yarn, color Vintage Tinsel. It’s much sparklier in real life.
Those will be quite festive for the Christmas season!
I have put my socks to the side in order to work on other time sensitive projects. Every time someone posts about socks, I have a craving.
Congrats on finishing 2 pairs of socks. Fingers crossed I’ll get my Advent colorwork socks done tonight!! My favorites are self striping socks although I love the bright colors of Deep Dyed Yarns with the sparkle in the yarn.
Love all the socks! I’m still in my knitting slump…
Just finished up another pair too. Cast on a shawl and finished one fingerless glove. Always like having a few things on the needles.
Pretty socks! There is alot of self-soothing involved in knitting the same small thing over and over. The Musselburgh hat is currently the valium of knitting for me.
I am in love with the beginning of the third paid!
