Pre-Ravellenics Sock Update

Last week I knitted like crazy to try to clear some WIPs before the start of Ravellenics. I have to be honest; right up until the night before I was not sure I was going to sign up with a team and enter my sweater into an event with Ravellenics, but in the end I did. Oh, but that is another post. This post is about the socks that flew off my needles last week.

So, here they are. I finished my simple vanilla socks first. Easy-peasy.

Socks
Here they are. Simple, cute, in a yarn that acts like it will wear like iron. The yarn is madelinetosh twist light, the first time I have used it, and I am liking it. It is really elastic, flashes the colors, and is nice and cushiony on my feet. My Ravelry notes are here.
Socks
They fit great! It was cold and snowy here this weekend and I wore these guys. I’m really happy with them.

My second pair of socks were more labor intensive. The pattern required following a chart with lots of stitch increases/decreases, so I was slower. Still, I did get one of the socks done and the second one cast on so I wouldn’t abandon it.

Sock
It’s hard to see the pattern detail because of the kinky yarn (I unravelled it from a sock blank), but it is there. There is a diagonal rib that travels down the foot of the sock. Cute, but slow to knit. I can’t wait to finish and wear these guys. Ravelry notes are here.

So that’s it. All the WIPs (the unfinished sock and a Mixology shawl) went into limbo while I launched into my traditional Olympics sweater. I started it on Friday and knitted on it all weekend. Wait until I show off my project and progress. Wait until you hear about the group I found of Ravelry. I am so excited and having fun.

Stay tuned. I can’t wait to show off my stuff.
