It’s been a while, but I finished a knitted garment this week. These socks were started as a travel project to fill the long drive to and from Ohio.
I picked up the yarn on sale last summer. It’s a typical superwash wool + nylon sock yarn, but one new to me: Static by Knitpicks. The colorway is Paradise.
I rarely make socks with self-striping yarn, but now I truly understand why it is so popular. It’s weird how many people that see these socks think they are Really Good!
Using a very basic sock stitch pattern, one can achieve a sock of great interest.
To me, the only skill I demonstrated was matching up the stripe pattern on each foot.
Yep. They match while I’m standing up in them too.
