Purpley goodness
By Holly | August 7, 2008
I have a finished object! Purple footie socks in Colinette Jitterbug.
I am really rather surprised I finished these and in less than a week. I have been in some sort of knit funk lately. I knit one lonely sock out of some Trekking but can’t get into the pair. I started knitting the latest sock club sock and frogged it. (You know, I’ve only knit one sock club sock this year. One. Not a pair, one sock. The green one.) Just didn’t feel like doin’ it, so I figured short socks would be the thang. And, it occurred to me that I don’t wear tall socks so why in the hell am I knitting tall socks and tall socks only? I think it’s partly cheapness on my part. I don’t want to waste the rest of the hank by going short. That’s why the Jitterbug worked out ‘cos I’ve got size 10 feet and those hanks of yarn are short. So there ya have it. My lazy, cheapass knit a complete pair of socks this week. Now I am going to try and knit that Trekking match, although I do have some Shibui knits calling my name. It’s pretty purpley too. Maybe that’s my problem? Not enough purple? Onward.
