socks



Before I actually started this blog I had the idea that I would update it with new posts a couple times a week. Now that my blog actually exists, I see how unrealistic that was for me. Between all of the things I have to do and all of the things I want to do, writing new posts is proving less progressive than planned. Which is pretty pathetic considering this is only post number two!

However, I have made some sock progress. I recently finished my second pair of socks and I really like the way they turned out. I used approximately 2 1/2 skeins of Mission Falls 1824 wool. They are a bit too thick for wearing with shoes, but they are perfect for around the house on chilly days. I also finished one sock of my first pair of lightweight socks out of Regia 4-fach haltbar sock yarn, and began a pair of Jaywalker socks out of Lorna's Laces Shepherd sock stripe in the Tuscany colorway. I love how they are looking so far (eventhough only the ribbing is done). My ultimate sock goal is to only wear and own handknit socks. I'm not sure if that is going to be possible, but it is a nice thought.
