KAL Socks are Done!!

That's right! I finished a pair of socks in two months! That's a record for me. My Give A Stitch KAL Socks are done. I LOVE these socks. The color is AWESOME! I was worried about not having enough yarn so I added a stripe in the foot. Trekking XXL Zitron #110 was fabulous to work with and so was Hempathy Designer's Choice #20.

There were a couple of "issues" with Red Heart's Self Striping Knit Sock pattern. It had you CUT the yarn when it came time to do the heel. Well, I didn't follow the pattern. LOL

I decided to bring some of the orange color up to the leg with some imperfect lazy daisies around the cuff. Totally makes the sock!

They're blocking now...can't wait to wear them!

Now...what's next?

Busy Needles

My KAL socks are over halfway finished. YAY!!!! I've turned the heel and have started on the foot on BOTH socks! I really like how these are turning out. I know it's just a plain sock...but I LOVE the color and yarn! It's a shame this Trekking XXL Zitron #110 has been discountinued. I must knit the yarn I buy MUCH faster. LOLOL I found some Hempathy Designer's Choice #20 (dark coral) in my stash (imagine that!) that goes PERFECTLY with it. I'm adding some stripes in the foot with it. I'm just nervous about having enough of the Trekking to finish a whole pair of socks with just one skein for my chunky feet.
