Lo and behold, I have a finished pair of socks to show you today. Are…
Maple Tree Socks
This photo:
Inspired this dye job:
Which lead to these socks:
The scarf from yesterday may have been a bust but nothing soothes a defeated knitter like a simple pair of socks. And while they are a bit more blue than I intended, I declare these a success! Why?
There is no pooling whatsoever.
The yarn is squooshy.
And they will always remind me of my maple trees in the early spring.
Now that these are done, bring on the Summer of Socks!

It’s always fun to see a skein of yarn, then to see it knit up. To me, they’e often very different. I wouldn’t have thought your yarn would knit up with so much blue, but I love it! Great job.
Wow! Those are gorgeous! Love blues, greens, and browns together. *sigh*
They’re great! You did a fabulous job on them!
