I finished up the Simple Skyp Socks I’ve had on the needles since mid July. About time, huh? They took a backseat to many other projects in the last few months. The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Alegría in color A8855. I love how looks knitted.
I did these toe up and added heel flaps. The pattern was simple (as stated in the name) and fun. It highlighted the color changes well without being overpowered by them. It’s good to have simple sock patterns that work well with highly variegated yarns in my knitting arsenal because I’m an addict for very colorful sock yarns. This pattern and I will definitely meet again. And hey, it’s SOCKTOBER. I nearly forgot! I’m casting on some Monkeys today, and putting all of my sock patterns on sale for 25% off through next Monday! Use the coupon code SOCKTOBER to redeem the discount. Happy Socktober!
Great socks and such a pretty yarn!
Socktober! I haven’t participated in years, but maybe someday…I love socks!
The pattern really shows off the variegation to great effect! Yummy!
Great socks and beautiful pictures! Have a lovely week!
Beautiful colors! I need to get going on sock knitting and you may have just inspired me!
Great socks! Love that cat!
I worked the Skype socks last fall…loved the pattern! And I am eternally devoted to Alegria ;D
I love how you worked the heel on these socks. My favourite bit of sock knitting is being able to switch out heels and toes for the ones we love the most. That colourway really suits the pattern too. Fab socks.
These are BEAUTIFUL I love them and want to wear them right now drinking a cocoa.
Great socks! And your kitty is the “spitting image” of the fab Mr. Cheddar, my feline owner. 😉 Following your blog now too. Glad I clicked through.
