I decided to make my sp some socks with some leftover sock yarn from Over the Rainbow Yarns. Who knew that one hank of Twinkletoes would get me 2 pair of women’s socks? That is a sweet deal if I have ever had one!
The ankle needs to be blocked but overall I am very pleased with this simple sock. Now onto the second one! I cast on last night & got about 10 rows of the ankle done. I love anklets, they go so fast!
Now I want to get some MamaE sock yarn (partially because she is my sp8 hostess, partially because she left me a rockin’ comment on my funky tulip socks and partially because I want to figure out how she dyes her yarns so damn beautifully!) but I must finish at least the 3 pair of socks I have going now before I add to my ridiculously large sock yarn stash. I don’t know how it happened that it got so big! It’s a good thing then that I am making so many socks! I just love them so.
I went through my needle stash & found 2 size 2 circ’s so now I have a free pair of needles that NEED to have some toe up socks on them. That will happen once I finish one of the pairs that I have going. I have a ball of trekking xxl in color 100 that is just yelling at me from it’s bin. Eagles flight was a great sock pattern for the trekking but I am thinking that I will use something more angular/modular. Once I find the stitch pattern I will let you all know. Just thinkin’ out loud!
