FO Friday

I finally finished those mismatched socks. It feels good to have something done.


Stockinette socks bring me such calm I can't even explain. I am buying too much self striping yarn for this very reason. Ah the joy.

Meanwhile I've just cast on some Undines (read it fast, it looks like Undies, right?) and I'm enjoying the knit for sure. I'll post a photo of it in progress when I have more than a thimble full of rows to show for it.

There are other things resting on the needles as well. But I'm so all over the place I'll need to share for another day.

Right now I'm looking forward to the weekend with more knitting and sports, Go Giants, Go Man City, go Socks (stockinette that is, not Red or White!)

Have a great weekend!

    Those socks are fabulous! I love me some plain old sock knitting too-especially with crazy stripes. The crazier the better.

    They look great. Even though they aren't matchy-matchy, they still look like they match.

    Hope you have a great weekend.

    These socks almost look like you used scraps. Great finish on this pair.

    Knitted undies, now there's a thought. Love the socks, stripey yarn is genius. Good to see the football season under way again. Man City should beat Watford no? Wishing you a happy weekend of knitting and cheering. CJ xx

    Fantastic socks! Stockinette socks are all I knit anymore: they are a satisfying and relaxing knit.

    I, too, have a passion for self-striping yarn and my stash is over-flowing with luscious skeins.

    I read it first as undieness.....oh well. Love your mismatched socks they are perfectly imperfect :) I tend to do matchy matchy but it causes undo stress sometimes.

    They turned out great! Although knitted Undies would be so awesome, knitted Undines would be more useful (and comfortable).
