Thoughts: I think it's funny that one of these socks is brighter than the other. Ah, the joy of the Trekking! Love them!
In other sock news, I apparently have a sock curse. I restarted the purple Koigu socks as the Mermaid socks from Cool Socks, Warm Feet, and it was too small. Drat! I'm thinking a wee socky break might be in order. Of course, I have some plain vanilla socks on the needles, but I may work on some other items before I go back to the socks.
I'm also a bit burned out on Project Spectrum. I've been badly neglecting it for several weeks, and my time is about to vanish when I go back to work on Tuesday. So I may not pressure myself to finish up these last few pairs of PS socks. We'll see.
What else can I get off the needles this weekend? Stay tuned!
Wow, these socks are fantastic! I especially like the first ones, I'm way impressed by your cabling! But also the second ones rock, such a great colorline that you've been using! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful socks! I haven't used Trekking but I love the way it knits up.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a Garterlac Dishcloth and it was a nice little break from socks on small needles.
ReplyDeleteGreat socks!! I love that trekking variety as well.
ReplyDeleteThose cable footies look comfy. They would make a great gift.
ReplyDeleteNice cable socks! Wow! And the Trekking socks came out great too!
ReplyDeleteYour footies are lovely! And I adore anything knitted from Trekking 100. :)
ReplyDeletePS can be as demanding or undemanding as you like. :)
