Here are the last six pairs of socks I’ve knit for myself:
\n<\/a>
\nThey are nice socks and they fit well. Two thirds of them are blue. And rather the same blue at that.
\nMany of my readers know that I tend to knit socks non-sequentially. I’ll knit two separate single socks before knitting either second. So here’s two of my single socks:
\n<\/a>
\nApparently, my personal sock “color story” is blue with some green. Blue is not my favorite color. I like blue well enough; it’s nice and versatile. But\u00a0 I’m in a blue rut, and now I’m digging my way out:
\n<\/a>
\nEmbossed Leaves–what a wonderful pattern! DIC Smooshy in Gothic Rose–what a wonderful non-blue color! Second sock is already OTN–in fact I’m through the gusset decreases, contrary to the photo.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nVesper Sock Club Yarn from Knitterly Things<\/a> in Damsel. Turquoise (which a shopkeeper in London told me to pronounce tur-kwaaaahhhzz) doesn’t count as blue. It’s fun! It’s stripey! No blue! The pattern is chevron welt from Sensational Knitted Socks<\/em>.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nToe Jamz by Happy Hands Yarn<\/a> in Eleanor Rigby. That’s purple–not blue! I’m serious. NOT BLUE.\u00a0 Another pair of Monkey socks. Nice yarn. Good dye job–intense color and good transitions.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have to knit the second navy tweed sock some day. But not today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
