Spring Fling Socks

May 17, 2007 By Carole

Don’t you worry about the sock yarn stash. I’m doing my best to knit it down. I’ve even got proof in the form of a newly finished pair of socks – the tenth pair of 2007, in fact.

I’ve been calling these Spring Fling Socks and they are a gift but I can’t tell you who they are for because the recipient occasionally reads this here blog. I can tell you lots of other things though.

spring_fling_socks_feet.jpg
Like how much I love the yarn. It’s Sunshine Yarns in the color “Spring” and it was a gift from Kathy. It’s soft and squooshy and the colors are fabulous.

And I can tell you how I love the 2 X 2 ribbing on the legs. I thought I would get bored with the never-ending knit 2, purl 2, but I actually enjoyed it very much.

And I can also tell you how much I love a traditional heel flap and gusset. Honestly, I never get tired of knitting a heel flap, turning a heel, and picking up stitches. It’s magic, I tell you.

spring_fling_socks_toe.jpg
Or how much I love a regular old toe. Doesn’t the sock look like it’s smiling? I’m smiling, too. These took exactly two weeks to finish.

I guess I really love these socks! I don’t love dandelions but I couldn’t help but notice how well the colors of the dandelions match the colors of the socks. And I know someone who does love dandelions. Wanna come over for omelets, Norma?

    Wonderful socks! And yes, basic sock construction is quite magical. It’s one of the main things that keeps me coming back to knit more. That and how nice they feel on the feet. 😉

    Oh my Gosh!
    Those are the most beautiful/colorful/fun socks I have ever seen!
    I am new to knitting, and have as yet not completed a pair of socks…. although, I have froged the same pair twice so far……. it is hard being a perfectionist sometimes.
    I did manage to do a miny sock over the weekend. It is hanging on my computer screen here at work. I am so proud!
    How I would love to be able to correspond with someone as talented and addicted to sock knitting as you!
    Thank You for sharing your beautiful creations!
    I will check back to your site often, as it encourages me!

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
