It's a simple sock knit super quick. I was astounded on how quickly these went. The yarn is luscious but the printing a nightmare to match up. In the end, when I realised that there wasn't enough yarn to have identical twins, I snipped the yarn until the pair looked identical. This made a LOT of ends to weave in, but I won in the end.





Project Notes

1. I used a 56 stitch cast-on, on 3mm needles. Sock 1 flew by, sock 2 was a lot of stop and go. In the end, I knit eventhough I couldn't find the pattern repeat and grafted the cuff on, cutting as I went along, until I got the colours to line up.



2. How apted that a sock yarn named crazy, should so endeavour to get me committed! Yes, I love it, the colours are fun, the sock knits up quickly and eventhough my mom says she will not wear them out of the house, I might make myself a pair, as I will wear them out of the house! I hope the thicker yarn means that these socks will last longer than the ones I make her usually do.
