Personal Sock Club Socks #1

Finished last night:

The toes, heels and cuff are knit with Patonyle and the rest with one of those self-striping Opal or Regia yarns (can’t remember which). When I lay them on the footstool last night to admire them, the beau said “haven’t you got a pair like that already?”. Which is pretty amazing recall, since I knit the original pair a few years ago and I do the clothes washing (he does the sheets and towels). These, however, fit much better.

It has surprised me how fast I knit these up. Just goes to show I can knit socks faster if I don’t get distracted by other projects. But I couldn’t leave my sock needles unoccupied, and for me the point of a personal sock club is it’s so well tailored to my needs that the new package arrives right when I need it, so I went up to my workroom and grabbed another bag.

Aha! A scrappy sock project. After considering the range of colours, especially the blue and black striped yarn, I decided this pair needed black contrasting heels, toes and cuffs. Half an hour later I had a toe done, all ready for mixing and matching the leftovers.

I should probably have worked on Sylvi, but it was late, and I may need some simple meeting knitting to work on tonight.

  1. Zoooom! I agree with Rose, they turned out really cute. Maybe that’s my problem… too many projects to finish a pair of socks.

  2. The socks look so good! You are so quick! I can’t tell you enough how much I LOVE this idea – I am thinking of making myself a spinning version and a sock one when I get time… come to think of it, I could do a hat one too as I have so many on my Ravelry wish list!
