Another Sock Post

(this time with an FO!)

The crazy sock mojo shows no sign of waning. I have knit nothing but socks since my last post.

I am using the same Rabbit Ridge yarn for these socks that I did for my RPM Socks. Since my RPM socks grew quite a bit once I wore them I thought I would counteract any growth in these by doing a cable pattern.

It would appear though that I overcompensated a bit because I can’t get these over my heel. I tried blocking them but it didn’t seem to change anything.  Sad.
Riiiiiiip.

Oh well, on to other socks!

To go with my sock bug I have also caught the Monkey bug:

I am using some Fearless Fibers Supersock for these and I love them just as much as everyone else does. The yarn is soft, the pattern is fun and they are knitting up fast!

FO: Kew Socks

Pattern: Kew Socks from Knitty by Polly Outhwaite

Yarn: Regia Silk 4-ply

Changes: I did a picot hem instead of the garter stitch cuff in the pattern.

I really like these socks, the yarn is really soft and they are cushy and warm. Also I think they look fabulous with my crocs:

Or is that just me?

    I think handknit socks look great with most shoes. And the lace is lovely!

    Wow–you’ve been seriously busy in the sock department! I wish that I was so productive these days, but that little thing called a job has sure been pesky lately. sigh.

    Congrats–you won some chocolate (ok, it’s not sock yarn, but chocolate’s a close second, yes?) in my 100 posts giveaway! Email me with your address at minneapolismama@gmail.com and I’ll get it in the mail to you. Feel free to let me know if you like milk/dark, nuts/no nuts.

    I’ve never been to Alaska, but have always wanted to. In my work, I have some connections with department of education staff in Alaska, and I often wonder what Juneau is like.

    Thanks for entering my contest!
