A simple ribbed sock pattern. #3 from the Six Sox Knit-along and so far, my favourite.

Ribs are so forgiving. I cast on 70 and I was off. The texture also made it easy to count the repeats. I started these over the Atlantic on a flight from London to Toronto. It was a great project to travel with, easy to remember the pattern and you can pick it up and pput it down without having to write down notes. The added bonus was the yarn came in 50g balls, so you don't even have to travel with all the yarns







Project Notes

1. I started this on 70 stitches and 2.5 mm needles



2. Both socks went quickly and I had no problems throughout the process. This pattern is great and it'll be a favourite of mine, like the waffle pattern.



3. Like that (imagine snap of fingers), I was done.


The pinks and blues look fabulous on my hydrangea.




Here's a more neutral background.
