A completed pair of stash-busting CatSocks! I ran out of the lighter yarn just at the toe of sock 2, hence a purple tip. Yarn: @nnkyarns Sparkle Sock in Currant, @alimtherubyfox Sock Yarn in Onion Papers - both leftovers from other projects Pattern: #TheCatAndtheRose Socks from @ancaitinbeag Choose Your Own CatSock Adventure Volume 2 #ChooseYourOwnCatSockAdventure #CatSocks #Colourwork #ColourworkSocks #SockKnitting #SockKnitter #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #StashBusting #KnittingLife #AussieYarnDyer #AussieYarnDyers https://www.instagram.com/p/CjNPOQTJr5g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

June socks for #LaMercerieYearOfSocks2022 - #HibernationHouseSocks by Lindsey Fowler, knit with @fiber_lily Sock yarn in Hush, held with some leftover suri alpaca yarn custom dyed by @nnkyarns I actually finished these over 2 weeks ago, but was so excited when I finished them that I put them straight on and have worn them twice already since then! . Pic 2 shows that I have zero self-control - every pair of socks in this pic has been cast on since I finished the Hibernation House socks. If I could just focus on a single project, I’d already have at least one more finished pair! But variety is the spice of life so I have 4 pairs of socks on the go. From top left, going clockwise - DK weight socks using no particular pattern, with alternating rib texture. Yarn is @louielolayarns BFL DK in Wrangler Another pair of CatSocks #TheCatAndTheRose by @ancaitinbeag - yarn details on a previous post about the socks #CurlingMistSocks by @curioushandmade - though you can’t see the pattern so well on my choice of yarn, which is @spunrightround sock yarn in Strange Trip Finally, we have some self-striping vanilla socks. Using my normal sock recipe, self-striping is the @colagirl74 2020 Xmas colour way for @theyarnbowl with contrast cuff/heels in @louielolayarns Merino Sock in Tassie Pinot #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #SockYarn #SockKnitter #KnitAllTheSocks #CastOnItis #DKWeightSocks #SelfStripingSockYarn #SelfStripingSocks #FOFriday #KnittingLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CfLBas-p5nJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
