After many months in my purse, tagging along to oodles of doctor’s appointments all summer, I finally kitchenered the toe of the second sock this morning, just in time for me to wear them to school today. Which is a good thing, because no matter what the temperature is outside, my office is freezing. Wool socks are a huge plus! Here’s the details:
Pattern: basic sock recipe from “Knitting Rules!”
Yarn: Vesper sock yarn, in (I think) “Aquamelon”
Needles: size 1 Clover bamboo dpns
I’ve already knit one pair of socks from Vesper sock yarn (from back in the day before she had superwash…this particular skein has been in my stash for at least a couple years)…in fact, the header image of this blog is a closeup of my other pair of Vesper socks. They’re soft and wonderful, and I love the bright stripes. This particular colorway is almost impossible to photograph, it’s so bright. But I love it. It makes me happy, to look down at my feet and see this combo of bright pink and green. These socks have been with me through a lot of stress these last few months, and it’s nice to finally get to see them on my feet:
I’ve already cast-on for the next pair of “purse socks”! You’ll just have to wait and see which yarn I picked…
They’re very pretty. I recently came across your blog and liked it so well I added it to my (short) blogroll, to keep up with.
Those are adorable! My office is the same way – I wore sweaters inside all summer when it was 100 degrees out!
Those are so cute! Love the colors! I also like how they look almost identical except for the toes.
I love them! So bright and cheerful, which is just the thing for chilly toes.
So pretty and happy! I’m glad you had these with you during stressful times, and that now you can wear them.
