First Pair of 2020
completed Old Fashioned Peppermint socks March 2020 |
This is the first pair of socks completed in 2020. The first pair I've knit since August 2019 - seven months! October, November and December I knit Sockhead cowls from scrap sock yarn, but for two months (January and February) my knitting needles were idle: I had zero interest in picking up the needles.
Social distancing is providing ample time to knit socks, using sock yarn stash. I found a perfect "spring" yarn for the next pair of socks.
Peppermints is exactly what I thought as soon as I saw them. Are you socks soft? My cousin has knit 2 pair of cotton socks for me. I love wearing them around the house but they are too thick to be comfortable in my shoes.
ReplyDeleteThose are HAPPY socks Nancy! I love them. I'm glad you are back to knitting and can't wait to see the yarn you've chosen for your next pair!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great and who doesn't love a pair of red and white stripey socks???? I know I do!
ReplyDeleteChristmas!!!! They Do look like peppermint candy and Christmas to me. I'm glad you're enjoying knitting again. I have one sock on my Dublin Bay socks almost at the toe decreases. The other has the heel turned, so hopefully I will have a finish soon too!

ReplyDeleteOH You are such a great knitter Nancy. Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool socks. They'll be a lot of fun to wear.
ReplyDeletePerfect name for these cute socks. I guess you still can't leave a reply on my blog because I haven't heard from you, still don't know why. Miss you.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I absolutely love those socks! Peppermint ice cream is my favorite flavor and before I saw the name of them that's what popped in my head.
