Two Socks that Really Do Rock
Inspired by having that lovely new pair of socks from Jan, I figured it was about time that I got my own current sock project finished up. Saturday evening I finished my delightfully fraternal Tiger Eye Socks that Rock Socks (the pattern for these socks is Lucy Neatby's basic sock pattern from Cool Socks, Warm Feet
Were I to knit with this yarn again (and I might if I can find one that is muted enough in color to be "man friendly" -- the husband loved how thick these socks were) I would probably use a size 1.5 needle rather than a size 1 to give them just a bit more flexibility -- and to stretch my yarn just a little bit farther. I did have a little bit left but probably couldn't have gotten a man-sized pair out of the two skeins I had knitting at this density.
Little by little I'm filling up my sock drawer with handknit socks. I'd love to think that there might be a day when that would be all I would find in there!
A drawer full of handknit socks makes for a delightful winter. Just sayin'.
What super colors--the socks look great!
Those are fabulous!!
I sure hope the Socks that Rock that I requested for Christmas comes through...I have such sock envy.
They're gorgeous!
Those are way cool. Love the colors.
Those socks truly do rock. Nice job!
The black onyx colorway is pretty muted--black with some grey. I love your tiger eye socks, though.
I Love. That. Sock yarn. I have a pair of Socks that Rock from a sock exchange, and I love them. Wear them all the time. When I make it through my sock yarn stash, I think I see this sock yarn in my future.
