I Gotta Stop Doing This!



Waiting for the last minute to finish my socks for Sock-a-month 3, that is. I'm definitely going to keep knitting socks though.

Pattern: Basic toe-up sock in stockinette with 3x2 rib at the leg, turkish cast-on toes, and short row heel from Priscilla's Dream Socks.
Yarn: KnitPicks Superwash Swish in ocean and grey
Needles: KnitPicks Options US size 6s, 2 socks on 2 circs method

Thoughts: I call these the Road to Stitches socks because I cast on the socks specifically for my drive up to Stitches West. For the round trip journey, I got all the way to one heel turned, and finished the rest over a couple of days. These are for Sweetie Hubby, who unfortunately, is asleep right now, so he can't model them. Originally intended to be a Christmas gift, they're a tad late, but it's okay, because he got January's socks too.
Can't wait to finish and show you March's socks. They will be made with STR lightweight in lemongrass. Nice and lacy too!
