I finished my Summer Night colorway socks, designed by Arne and Carlos. In my excitement over their beauty and my love of the yarn, I almost immediately had to cast on the Fall Night colorway of their Regia line. It seems appropriate timing, given we are just at the very end of fall. I adore this yarn. This is approximately two day’s knitting time with sole focus when I could, because I was so eager to see a complete repeat. It may be cheating a bit because the yarn is doing all of the work, but I find self striping yarns to be magical, especially these crazy Fair Isle lookalikes. My excitement is nearly doubled knowing that these will wear and wear and wear. I have some Regia socks I made back in probably 2007 or 2008 that are just beginning to thin on the ball of the foot. I wear them at least once a week or more (depending on laundry speed) in cold weather because I often save my softest and most lovely merinos for when I won’t be on my feet wearing them out all day. I wash them and dry them with abandon. I have another pair that I’ve had nearly as long that gets the same treatment. That kind of durability is incredible for a hand knit that gets squashed and bears a heavy load all day long. Hurrah for hard wearing sock yarn!
The third edition of Arne and Carlos Regia yarns is out or coming soon. I’m pumped. How the hell am I ever going to knit through all my sock yarn?!
love this yarn line and I love it even more now that I you’ve explained just how durable the socks are 🙂 Happy winter to you!
i saw a knitted watch .. i guess you can do that .. why don’t you try sometimes 🙂
Awesome! I will have to check that yarn out. They look great.
So pretty! I don’t know that I’d ever pick out those colors in the skein, but they are knitting up AMAZINGLY.
Very beautiful! I love the colors!
Love the stripes. There’s nothing wrong with selfstriping yarn. Enjoy your socks 👏
They are working up beautifully. I love self striping myself, it is knitting magic! 🙂
These are beautiful! So, I have a question…To knit these socks, are you just knitting around and the pattern just appears this way due to the way the yarn has been dyed? I’m thinking these might make a great project for meditative knitting. And the anticipation of seeing the pattern appear would keep it exciting and keep the knitter motivated. What do you think?
Yes. The yarn does all the work. It’s great fun!
I love hard-wearing socks! The soft merino with no nylon just can’t take it although they do feel good …… can’t wait until Arne and Carlos kick out the third evolution!
Those Arne & Carlos Socks keep popping up on my Ravelry page. They look great! Think I’ll treat myself a new pair of socks,…. 🙂
love that regia sock colourway you chose! those socks look amazing already.
Those colors are so pretty!
They look beautiful! I’m just starting a second sock ; )
I love the teal in this colourway.
LOVE your socks! The colorway looks so much better on your pair than on the yarn’s advertisement. Dammit! Now I feel the need to go yarn shopping…. again. 🙂
Looks beautiful!!!!
I adore these!!! I’ll be on the lookout for this colorway!
