Hello, friends! I'm joining with Kat today to talk about my knitting and reading. My…
Bearfoot Socks
I have a new pair of finished socks to show you today.
They are a simple sock, entirely different from those fancy socks I showed you last week.
2×2 ribbing on the legs and top of the foot makes a very snug and comfortable fit.
The yarn is Mountain Colors Bearfoot that’s been marinating in my stash for ages – I bought it when I visited Norma a gazillion years ago. It’s fuzzy and a little bit thicker than most sock yarns. The colors are fantastic.
And a new pair of socks – plain or fancy – is also fantastic.

Two pairs of socks and it’s only mid February! I think you are right on track to knit 12 pair in 2012! Must admit my chilly feet sang out for hand knit socks yesterday 🙂
Socks look great. The 2×2 rib going down the legs and top of
the foot are one of my favorites. Love the colorway!!
Exactly the kind of socks I like best! (And Mountain Colors yarn is delicious.)
Neat colors and gentle striping in your ‘Wilderness’! I should dig out mine (Ruby River) from the back of the closet.
How did you knit another pair of socks so quickly!? Simple socks are so comfortable and the color is most excellent.
Geez! That was quick!! 2×2 are my ultimate favorite fit. And Mountain Colors! Nicely done, Carole. Now just don’t do what I did with my Mountain Colors socks – felted them! Oy! Happy Day to you.
Nice! Simple socks are the best. Love the colors. 🙂
i do love the colors and they are shown off beautifully in the 2×2!
You are going great guns there. I haven’t even finished my first pair of socks for 2012 from January!
I love the colors. I’ve never tried the bearfoot before. At one point I considered it outside of my price range and now I just have a harder time finding it.
Love them! The colors are great and they look so warm and cozy. I’m such a knit-slacker lately 🙁 Gotta get back on track!
YUM !! says it all..
Also beautiful.
Yum, MC Bearfoot. Believe it or not I made a whole stranded color work shawl from Bearfoot.
Your socks look great. Have you tried them on your feet yet? Bearfoot feels wonderful worn as socks, I think.
Love the socks, the yarn, etc. and am inspired to make some straight forward socks myself — great stash busters! Oooh, you met Norma!!!??? I love her blog and her irreverant opinions and links. She had a link to a blog called Margaret and Helen which takes on the wackiness in our politics and society in a way that just blows me away!
LOVE THOSE COLORS!!
yup ribbing socks are always a great fit. YOUR color way is wonderful.
Both pairs, fancy and ribbed, are utterly gorgeous. I haven’t picked up my needles yet in 2012, but your beautiful socks are getting me motivated to do so!
Beautiful! I love MC’s Bearfoot! It’s such a luscious yarn. The colors are gorgeous – who needs a fancy stitch pattern when you have colors like those!
Woo!
That’s my go-to pattern. Well, the ribbing is. ;^) Well done!
I love thicker sock yarn – kinda makes the project go a little faster!
The colors in those socks are wonderful! And I give you big props on the 2×2 rib….such patience!
