Our friend Inky has gotten another pair of socks from me that didn't have an intending recipient in mind, but this is the first pair that were made just for them. These are exactly their colors, and the off-kilter stripes are completely their style.
Yarn: Knitting Fever Indulgence Cashmere (discontinued)
Yarn Supplier: a friend's destash!
Needles: US 2 / 2.75 mm
The pattern is just a basic 2X2 rib cuff down sock with heel flap and wedge toe, but after talking with Inky about how and where their socks would wear out, I went with a slightly longer heel flap to give some extra reinforcement at the top of the heel. When tried on, they quickly got awarded the title of favorite boot or sitting around the house socks.
Not only is this yarn incredibly soft, but also the 6-ply is very squooshy. Very excited about the 2 other balls of this yarn in my stash and then making Frankenstein socks out of the leftovers. This yarn was from a mutual friend's destash, and I think they would both be delighted by the community connections.
