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.
I have been wearing a lot of bright colors, too! I am wearing orange right now! lol Great pair of socks!!
ReplyDeleteMy 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!!
ReplyDeleteLove how they match!!
ReplyDeleteMy socks have ALWAYS been a crazy mish-mash of colors.
ReplyDeleteMy clothes are a lot more sedate.
I love how that sock yarn striped. So pretty.
Mission accomplished with the color!
ReplyDeleteThose are just so pretty!! they will definitely brighten a dreary winter day!!
ReplyDeleteThose 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful socks Nancy. And you have the patience to RIB the whole cuff. That will make them last a long time
ReplyDeleteThey are some snazzy socks! I ordered some long sleeved winter shirts..peach, red and aqua:)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
