I know I know, everyone’s sick of me posting about these socks. But look! They’re done! You probably never have to see them ever again (at least until they come up in a fortnightly theme 😆

Technically I tried to avoid such different colour pooling from one sock to the other, but as you can see I failed miserably. Don’t care at all, they’re fabulous, sometimes you just have to let the yarn do its thing!

Yarn was one-off hand-dyed, and the pattern is apparently discontinued although there’s still the Ravelry page, and also @[email protected] found it on the wayback machine when I posted about it previously, thank you for that!

Pattern is written for DPNs but you can pry my one single circular out of my cold dead hands.

MOAR PICS!

    I really like how the color pooling turned out! Reminds me of tie dye across the two socks.

    I remember the author. Her toe up sock book was one of the first knitting books I purchased. I wonder if she is still publishing.

    Apparently she used to knit during her commute on the DC metro, which always amazed me because it is crowded and jerks around a lot. I tried a few times and felt car sick.

      Well I knitted these in the car, on a cruise ship, on a bus and also on our local metro so I guess I’m just following in the footsteps of tradition 😄
