It's Sereknity Yarn and Fiber and was won in a contest put on by Gina House of SleepyEyes. It is sport weight and 260 yards. I knit these toe up with Magic Loop and was determined to use all the yarn! I did end up using most of it, except the last yard or two.
I started with a 3.00 mm needle and switched to 2.5 mm for the ribbed leg because I was worried it wouldn't be snug enough. I think it was a good call because they fit beautifully!!
I am seriously over the moon with these! It might be because they are the quickest socks I've knit so far (only six days! I feel like those all-star sock knitters who whip out pairs before you can blink. Yes, Andi, I mean you!) It also might be because I love hand-knit socks and now I have another pair!
Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here!

I LOVE your socks! I would like to try sportweight sometime. Gorgeous colorway. Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Sportweight is a *dream* to knit with, mainly because you are finished in a snap! They are also a bit more squishy than my fingerweight pairs :) I hope you try sportweight!
DeleteLOL! You are an all-star sock knitter. I think you just stole my title with those super fab socks! 6 days... are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteThey were quick because they are sportweight!! And I'm pretty sure I did nothing that whole week :)
