Parade of socks
Socks rock! I am in this crazy sock knitting groove and I can’t seem to knit anything else. So I give you my parade of socks.
First off my autumn socks. These have been finished since New Year’s and I’ve finally taken a photo. My excuse, um, too busy knitting socks to pick up the camera. These were knit with Lana Grossa Meilenweit sockyarn on size 2 Clover bamboo dpn’s. I tried to get the stripes to come out the same but it didn’t quite work out. The legs are great and the feet are close. But who cares, they’ll be in my shoes anyway and even if they aren’t I don’t care. I love these socks!
Next up are a pair of socks that I like to call my Socks of Fury. No, they didn’t make my furious but the color of the yarn is called Fury. (I’m just noticing that one sock looks larger in both of my pictures. Must have been the angle I took the photo at as both socks are really the same size. Really, really!) These were knit with some wonderful yarn from my SP Choomon. It’s Shelridge Farms wool/nylon blend. These were also knit on size 2 Clover bamboo dpn’s.
Here is the sock I’m working on for my socks on 2 circs class. Our homework was to work down the leg and stop at the heel flap. It was really hard not to keep going! The yarn is Koigu KPPPM and is knit on 2 size 2 24″ Addi Turbo circs. I finished the cuff in class and knit the leg the next night. It goes so fast! And guess what they told us in class! The LYS has placed an order for Socks that Rock yarn!! I can’t wait!! In the meantime, I decided not to get ahead of the class, so I slipped the sock off the circs and onto some spare size 2 needles and cast on another sock in a different yarn.
This is what I got . . . the first sock of the pair I’m calling Stripey. This was knit on the 24″ size 2 Addi Turbos with Plymouth Sockotta yarn. I wasn’t able to cast on for the second sock as my class is tonight and I needed to put my class sock back on the needles. But as soon as I finish the homework for tonight’s class, sock #2 of this pair will be done.
And since I couldn’t be without a sock that I could work on, I headed to the LYS on Monday 
and picked up 2 Addi Turbo 24″ size 1 circs and started these. The yarn was again from my lovely SP Choomon and is Lang Jawool Cotton superwash. I also picked up some more Koigu KPPPM while at the LYS. But, I neglected to take a picture. (Couldn’t put down the needles long enough to use the camera. Seriously!) Maybe there will be a little yarn pr0n tomorrow.
So that’s the end of the sock parade. We now return you to your regularly scheduled knitting.
