FO: Smores Socks

Well, from a stash-busting perspective, these socks were successful, and they are very soft and cozy. I am a bit nervous about how they will wear though, after the amount of halo that I can see just from traveling with me to work on and then blocking.

 

Yarn: mystery  handdyed wool sock yarn in the colorway S'mores 

Needle: US 1 / 2.25mm

Pattern: 64 sts toe up sock with wedge toe and tubular bind-off

I didn't use a real pattern, but I did thrown in a tubular cast-off  just for fun. I had really loved it in the Alpenglow cuffs. I think actually it is a good bind-off for me for this length sock, but it wouldn't work for everyone or even every pair of socks for me.

WIP: Mitered Sock Yarn Blanker

I have been reorganizing my craftroom and in the process ran across this long hibernating WIP. I was so excited to see it! I have lots more sock yarn scraps odds and ends to add to it, and quickly added a few more rows.

 Mitered squares are just so deeply satisfying to knit.

It is also very popular with the cat, who seems to know as soon as it has been laid out that it is available for his enjoyment.
