If you know me as a knitter, you know I'm not a fan of knitting socks. It's the whole making two of things I think. I don't mind knitting the sock, it's that I want to start something else when I'm done with the first. So yes, I have a few single socks in my drawer.
Well, I was listening to the Grocery Girls and they mentioned knitting some dk weight socks. Yes! Quicker and much more doable for me. I found the Rye Sock pattern by Tin Can Knits and casted on.
I got this pretty Tosh DK yarn in the Opaline color way from my local yarn shop, A Stitch In Time in Farmingdale. It was a pretty color and I was ready for my first dk socks.
I knitted these up in a weekend and they're squishy and comfy. A bit big, but perfect for wearing around the house. I'm hooked and plan on making some more.

Joining in with Ginny for the weekly Yarn Along
For anyone that doesn't know this, I designed the Yarn Along logo for Ginny. I love seeing it on all your blogs and I just noticed that it matches my socks quite nicely this week.
these would make nice "slipper socks" for christmas gifts for next year!!! "i knitted these up in a weekend" - REALLY - with 3 kids and a full time job, you amaze me!!
ReplyDeletei LOVE the color!!!
If I didn't knit, I would lose my mind!!!!!
DeleteI really like those socks! I think the purl stitches on the top are really pretty. I've never seen that before. I'm making a pair on size 0 needles, and I'm almost to the toes.
