I love your socks in progress. And No. 34 isn’t half bad either.

I love the stripey socks! The brown and lavender go nicely together. Are you going to patch the originals? The retro ribs look like they are coming along nicely.

Brenda- That’s a pretty good life span for a pair of socks. I like the truffle ones too.

How nice that you have a kitty to visit you! And that you can be outside now! We’ve got a couple of feet of snow.

That’s a great idea to replace an old pair of socks with the same pattern. Your socks in progress are pretty.

Are you following the Retro Rib pattern as written? I was thinking of starting another pair but skipping the knitting through the back loop part, because it’s so tedious for me. But I’m curious as to how much the look would change… Your sock progress is very exciting!

I think you should darn the Rib and Cable socks. They are too beautiful to throw away.

I love knitting socks but have yet to knit a pair that fits me! I don’t know why I bother with a gauge because they are always too big. The next pair I try will be knit on No 1 needles. Of course, my extended family love getting the socks that are too large for me so they are never wasted.

The stripey is very cool – reminds me of flowers.

Love the yarn and patterns of all the socks – and Kitty No. 34 is beautiful. How nice to be knitting where there isn’t 30″ of snow on the ground (like there is at my house…).
