The birth of another pair of socks. This is what I was intending to post on Monday. I was well on my way to getting them done before the weekend was over. Ha! My body had other plans. But we now have another pair to add to the sock drawer.
Nothing fancy - just my basic sock recipe on size 0's, 64 stitches around. I could have gone down to 60 stitches and it would have fit me fine. Big complaint with this yarn - way way too many joins. I hate that when I am knitting socks. One of the joins wasn't even in order and had I not paid attention the striping would have been off.
Still listening to Outlander.

They are beautiful Donna, the stripes are stunning as is the colour combination.
I did not have that problem with joins in my yarn, so maybe it's the bad ball? Size 0 oh my!! I knit with 2s always.
Pretty, pretty socks!
I detest when I get a ball of yarn full of joins, kind of takes the joy out of my project.
well done! a ball with lots of joins is no fun! the socks look lovely and cozy! hope you are feeling fully better now! God bless and keep you!
Just beautiful! I need to get another pair done as well!
Love those socks!! Makes me want to do a stripy pair!
Love the sparklies in the yarn! They make me smile. So pretty!
Festive color way on these socks very pretty!

Look at how fast you've made those socks! My stripes are off on my socks but they aren't super stripy so I don't mind.
I can't even imagine little size 0 needles :) Another pretty pair of stripey socks
I hate joins! Had two in a recent skein of lamb's pride sport!! Love the colors.
I hope this means you are feeling better! The socks are fun, but I feel you on hating a bunch of joins in any yarn.
I'm struggling with my sock knitting lately. I'll get there.
Such pretty socks and stripes. I had the same problem with a surprise knot and color reverse on my last sock. Frustrating.
So pretty and you are so careful with your striping - I really like that!
ooooh sparks and stripes! love it! *steals your socks!*
I love Minerva podcast too! she's so lovely!

oo happy socks :)
I love the colours of these. Really fun, and definitely something cheery to wear in winter!
One can never have too many socks, and colors are perfect for the season.
love the socks! Size 0?? I can feel my fingers cramping just saying that ;)
