Last night we joined a big family dinner at the home of a friend’s mother. On the way there I worked on the cuff of the second Don’t Sweat It sock. Then, on the way home, our car broke down, so I knit under the light of the Shark Fin restaurant sign for an hour or so while we waited, first for roadside service then for a tow truck.
As a result, this morning all I had to do was the sewn cast off and my first pair of cotton blend socks were done:
Yarn: Regia Cotton Surf; 41% wool 34%, cotton 25%, polyamide; 100g
The yarn was a bit stringy and ‘hard’ in texture and doesn’t have much elasticity. Even with all the ribbing they’re a bit loose around the ankles. I’m hoping a bit of washing and wearing will soften them up a bit.
There is one advantage in having narrow feet:
39 grams of leftovers. I could make a pair of anklets. Or mix it with leftovers from the other three balls of this yarn for some extra stripey socks.
Lovely socks, just had to comment because as I was clicking around the blogosphere I noticed the date & You’re already into tomorrow. I understand it but it feels a bit strange.
Very Nice, i like the colours. They look good, even if they feel loose.
You made your socks so quickly, and I do like the idea of ribbing, they look great!!! I always have wool left over and I never thought what to do with it before!!!
The socks are great. What a lucky thing you had them with you waiting for the tow truck etc. I have something with me ALWAYS, just in case. Hope your car is better soon.
