… these socks.
They started out life as that extra yarn my advisor gave me. A box-full of Cascade 220 in various heathered shades … one or two skeins of each color, so not a lot to work with in terms of cardigans or large projects or what have you. I dithered. Finally, last week it hit me: socks! Cozy, woolly, slouchy worsted socks.
The King of Socks, if you will
And I decided to get stripy with it. Kind of a melting transition pattern from the main color into the contrasting color, which is how they got their name: turtle + celery. They are quick, easy, cheap, and totally addictive. My pair for ladies’ feet took less that one skein of two colors.
I’ve already got at least two other pairs planned … just from the advisor yarn.
p.s. I promise to stop with the Hipster-vision soon. Hipster-panorama.
I love the look on Alice’s face! Can’t wait to see the socks completely, the color is great.
This rooster approves, too. I love the idea of worsted, slouchy socks. Perfect for winter. And maybe for working?
Advisor yarn? I approve of this as well.
Worsted weight socks from Cascade 220 are amazing. Totally with you there. I’ve never made a stripey pair though. Might have to soon.
