Yarntini Mimosa Socks
Yarn: Yarntini Mimosa, 1 skein
Pattern: My generic 56 stitch top-down sock with slip stitch heel
Needles: US # 1 / 32” Addi Turbos for Magic Loop
I started these socks on June 10 and made decent progress during the first month. I got all the way to the heel of the second sock before I came to a screeching halt. After a two-month hiatus, I finally finished them last weekend. And I just realized that they’ll match quite well with my Wicked sweater!
And look what I got from The Loopy Ewe!
Yup, sheep sock blockers! For the record, I don’t actually block my socks. I thought it would be neat to try using them for photography purposes only, and they definitely work well that way! I can see that blockers would be particularly helpful in photographing socks with actual designs (instead of the plain stockinette I always do). I don’t really need them, but I fell for the cute sheep!
Yea, more socks!
They look great and the sock blockers are really cute.
Love the colors. They are so nice and cheery. Great job.
The sheep sock blockers are too cute.
those are great socks! i like those caitlyn!
Oh man those are cute socks!!
oh, those sock blockers are super cute. i totally want a pair!
I love the stripes! and I love your standby stockinette socks. Those are the ones that show off the great yarns the best
Those colors are beautiful and I love the little sock blockers- too cute!
Those are great! A friend of mine has a theory that orange basically goes with nothing, so therefore it kind of goes with everything. You’ve picked out some really nice shades for your knitting projects!
Love the color of the socks! Yes, those sock blockers are really cute!
Wowee! Those are bright! I don’t even like orange, but those are totally cute socks =)
The sock blockers are adorable! I want some!
Oh my goodness . . your knitting is -perfect-. Could you please tell me what your standard pattern is? Like, what is your toe and how do you do your heel? Thanks!
I once started a pair of socks. But (sigh) I got bored with knitting them. Size 1 needles are simply too small for my clumsy hands.
Maybe this fall I’ll try again?
Love those socks! Glad to see your back on a knitting kick again.
Oh! I’m a sucker for the cute sock blockers, too! I’ve thought about investing in blockers for the same reason as you - just to show off the socks in photos. I don’t block my socks, either. (Once they’re on your foot, they’re blocked. Right?)
Love the sock colors. Nothing wrong with plain stockinette socks, especially with cute stripey yarn.
Those socks are great! Love the colors. I was just complaining that I have trouble taking finish photos of my socks. That’s a good idea you have there!
oooh my favorite colors!!!
very purdy caitlyn
Very pretty socks! Cute blockers too!
