The first pair of socks for the year are finished!
These are man-sized socks for #1 grandson!
I used Stroll yarn from KnitPicks in the Guppy colorway,
size 2.5mm needles over 64 stitches,
toe-up knit with a gusset heel.
This hasn't happened in a very long time--- a cat divot in my TAUT quilt layers on the frame!!! Since I hadn't started any quilting...
Wow, knocked out of the park already! A nice knitty start to the year. I know someone who will be happy to have “Grandma socks” again! -Marsel

ReplyDeleteThose look great! You're on a roll. I just turned the heel on the 2nd sock of my first pair of the year. Yay me!

I love that colorway. Cheerful socks in winter are a must.
ReplyDeleteThose look so cozy! I almost bought a pile of new yarn from Knit Picks, including some stroll. I needed some double points for my new project (details this week). I had a basket full of needles and yarn, and decided to do one more look for the needles in the stash! And I found them! Good thing... I don't need more yarn - no matter how nice that stroll looks!
ReplyDeleteGreat socks! Congrats on the first finish of the year.
