sock-a-doodle-doo
There's been a bit of sock knitting around these parts.
First is the Traveler's Stocking from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush:
I started these back in May, according to Ravelry. The pattern is really pretty, and I love the yarn (Dream in Color Smooshy, In Vino Veritas). And the one I finished fits great. What's the problem? I HATE knitting the twisted stitch part at the top!! I knit tightly, so it's a real exercise in dexterity to try to work the stitches. But, I'm through the tough part now, so these should move pretty quickly now.
The sock below is Spunky Eclectic sock yarn (color, Pop) with a modified version of a stitch pattern that I found somewhere online.
These are pair #1 and #2 of my rainbow of socks. I started the yellow ones too, but I tried two different patterns and neither worked. But it's probably better that way. I should finish these ones first!
I have another pair of socks finished too, but I need to take some better pictures first. Oh, and I might have started a sweater too :)

Summer of socks! You should see me trying to knit K2togs and SSKs in Euroflax. I sympathize.

Your socks are bright and cheerful. You'll be happy you've finished them when the cold weather sets in so you'd better get crackin!

You've been busy! I love both of these. The colors are fantastic! And how cool is a rainbow of socks? What a great idea!

Very nice! Those Spunky ones look a bit like simplified Monkeys.
As a fellow tight knitter (remember the 120-stitch sock?), I can recomment KnitPicks needles.

Both are beautiful - the socks and the collors! Can't wait to see GBIV.

These are both fabulous socks, but you know how I feel about the orange one, right? :-)
