Adding Color

women's size 10 socks
August 2020

Earlier this year, I decided the socks in my drawer were pretty dull and that I needed to knit socks in brighter colors. I've made a conscious effort to work with yarn that contained very little blue, gray or black since those were the predominant colors in my pre-COVID sock drawer. 

This pair was knit with some discontinued Heart and Sole (Jelly Beans) on size 2 needles. 

Have you added more color to your wardrobe or crafting this year?

  2. My preference is quilting has been bright colors for many years, and also wear a lot of brights. I had a closet full of black, grey, and navy pants - and bright sweaters, jackets, and shirts. Since semi-retiring and working from home I wear way too much black and navy workout type clothes. Guess I need to bring back the brights into my wardrobe!!

  5. Those are cheerful! I tried to get some of that colour for the girls a while back but it sold out before I had a chance!

  6. What fun! Those socks are great Nancy. I love them! Most of the socks I knit are colorful and I've always had some color in my clothes. I haven't really shopped in so long (other than a new pair of jeans and a pair of sandles), so I haven't added any color recently. And since I don't have to go in to the office regularly, there's no need for new stuff!

  7. Those are beautiful! I've always been a fan of clown barf so I don't need to up my color game. I need to tone it down a bit. Today I went out in public in my purple plaid pj pants and my bright green Crocs and it felt wonderful.

  10. I really like those socks and the bright colors. It was definitely a sock finish weekend for lots of my favorite bloggers. I seem to stick to the same kind of colors but try to shake it up once in awhile.
