More Socks!

More Socks!

Because one post wasn’t enough to catch you up on all the sock knitting I’ve been doing, here’s another one!  These were from way earlier in the year, but I finally got photos and notes together to put on Ravelry.  Don’t worry, there are still more to come even after this post.  Yep, backlogged just a little.

Pattern: Jaywalker
Designer: Grumperina
Needles: US 1.5 (2.5mm)
Yarn: Zwerger Garn Opal Feelings in “1701”

I have a problem with Jaywalkers in that every striped yarn I find, I immediately think, “OH, this is perfect for Jaywalkers!”  It’s more interesting than doing a straight, plain sock, and I love those chevrons.  I will admit though to specifically buying this yarn to make Jaywalkers, so that’s okay, right?

See what I mean?  OH STRIPEY, must be Jaywalker material!  It’s neat how the pooling changed up so drastically on the legs as opposed to the foot.  I still get my chevrons, but also neat tie-dye swirly craziness.  Really love these colors.

Yarn: dkKnits Technicolor Dream Toes in “Galleria Glitz”

Just your basic plain vanilla socks.  The colorway did some neat pooling, and I love what happened on the heel turn with the individual stripes of color.  It’s kind of a hot mess in terms of the bright colors, but in a good way, I think.  They sure are fun, even for being simple socks.

Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight in, “Rare Gems”

Really easy pattern to knit, even if it doesn’t quite show up that well in the image above.  The colorway had a little bit too much contrast for the pattern to show up well, but it’s still got more interest than just straight stockinette.  The yarn was purchased at Rhinebeck years ago, and it was finally time to go ahead and use it!

Yarn: Cephalopod Yarns Skinny Bugga! in “Mr. Nancy”

These were a bit of a slog and took me almost six months to knit.  Mostly, the delay was because the pattern involved charts and a good deal of concentration which I don’t always have time for when I knit.  I am glad I finished them because the design is really lovely, and that heel is so neat and fits in perfectly with the design but is still a slip-stitch heel (my favorite).
