fo: Plain jane socks

I've changed gears and started making socks again.  I love the usefulness of jumpers, but I have much sock yarn in my stash that needs to be turned into socks, and those socks make for wonderful gifts.  Maybe someone particularity cold-hearted might turn down a pair, but what ice queen wouldn't want a pair of these?


Quick, plain jane socks.  The yarn is Online Supersock 4-ply City Color.  This yarn is fantastic- it's affordable and the 75% superwash 25% nylon blend is just the easy-care hard-wearing for non-knitters who can't be arsed with handwashing their precious.


The colors are fun.  I didn't bother trying to line them up, giving them a charmingly mismatched quality.


Pattern is my basic toe-up two at a time sock with the Fleegle heel, and a couple inches of ribbing at the top.

Best part, they took me all of 8 days to make.  I'm not a speedy knitter, but that's really fast as far as sock knitting goes.  For me, anyway.

  1. I admire your laid-back attitude towards knitting socks. I have never felt like knitting socks, but if I did it would be just like you!

  2. They look great. I'm all for not matching the colours up - it's good proof that they're hand made.

    1. Ah! My next pair I did with this yarn, I did matchy match them. It was tedious, but I made it work.
