Now, the finished sock parade continues. First finished, are the ones I started last week. These are the Aran Socks and are knit in Louet Gems Sport Wt in Cream. I knit these at a pretty tight gauge for sport wt yarn, but I think it is perfect for socks. Karen is knitting them in CTH supersock at the same gauge and says they look great. I haven't seen hers yet, but she promises to post a picture of them soon.
Next finished were the Mini Pretzel Twists. I don't know why I waited so long to finish these. I think it may have been because I know it will be a while before I can get more Wollmeise, and I wanted to prolong the knitting experience. I do love this yarn. It is a bit splitty at times, but the knitted fabric is wonderful. And the colors are fantastic. I think I am going to have to order directly from The Wollmeise. It is like a Wollmeise frenzy at The Loopy Ewe when it is in stock. I was fortunate to get a skein in two other restocks, but not the last one. It went unbelievably fast.
And off the needles last night, Furrows knit in Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn in the Hercules colorway. This yarn was a gift from Karen. Sorry about the picture. It is rainy and gloomy out today. This is a really quick knit. When I got the toe closed on this pair and the ends woven in, I started the second Lace-agon sock. I am working on the heel flap of that one. The pile of singletons is dwindling, thank goodness. I have yarn screaming at me to be tried. The Dream in Color Smooshy is talking the loudest. I may have another distraction..... like the Aran socks.
Well, I am off to do more laundry and then knit for a while.
Have a great week!!!!

All the socks look great!
With all those socks in the sock drawer... I'm wondering, what's your favorite sock yarn? It's probably hard to choose. But, still. I'm wondering. :-)
So much yarn...so little time. The socks look great. They are inspirational as always
The Aran Socks look so great (I'm waiting for better weather to get a good shot of mine). And those Lace-agons are so pretty, that yarn sure knit up nice. I love your Pretzel socks too (I hope to try that yarn sometime).
I ordered my Louet Gems Sport Wt in Cream from the loopy ewe last night--can hardly wait for it to arrive. Soon no one will ever believe that you were once afflicted with second sock syndrome! Everything looks wonderful!
Your socks are wonderful. Keep on knitting.
I'm thinking a direct order to wollmeise is on my agenda as well.
This is definitely the place to come and see beautiful socks...all are lovely :)
Thanks for the award. I will try to be a good blogger and try to post the award picture. But I am a little computer impaired! I mean I am a Right-brained person!
You're just cranking along with one beautiful pair of socks after another. The mini pretzels are nice. Love that pattern.
