Socks for Marilyn
 |
| Marilyn’s socks size 8 April 2023 |
I worked on these socks at Marilyn’s during the evening Colorado Avalanche (hockey) playoff games and the Denver Nuggets (basketball) playoff games.
You’ll notice that they are fraternal twins since the balls of yarn were wound backwards of each other. I considered making the socks match, but it would have required “wasting” a lot of yarn to get to the correct color repeat.
Yarn: Patons Kroy Socks (two balls). 100 grams total
Grey Brown Marl #55048
Needles: US size 2 — 64 stitches
Remaining Yarn: 36 grams total
19 grams from one ball
17 grams from the other ball
Very pretty colors. Fraternal twins still look great, and won't be very noticeable when being worn.
ReplyDeleteI'm a very picky matchy matchy sock knitter but I didn't even notice that they didn't match. They look great. I really like that colorway.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance they look identical. Those colors look so good together. I thought my last pair were going to be identical but the yarn took a turn around the toe decreases. I do like that yarn. I think my boys would love love a pair in it.

I'm not a matchy-matchy person and I really like these socks. The red adds just the right pop of color! Nicely done. With the crazy weather, I bet Marilyn is happy for a new pair of wool socks!
ReplyDeleteI love how they don't match!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I have a pair of socks in that colourway, and they are one of my favourites! Mine don't match either.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed, I'm sure Marilyn will be pleased to receive her cozy socks.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are very pretty. Socks do not have to match to keep the feet warm. In fact sometimes I like it when they don't match. It's like a bit of secret whimsy.
ReplyDeleteAren't they a very nice pair of socks!!! Sometimes, I match and use the little bit of 'wasted' yarn for the sock blanket but other times, I like the randomness of just knitting on! Great job on these!
ReplyDeleteClose enough! :)
ReplyDeleteNice work! They look great!
ReplyDeleteI see that my comment never published!! I like the socks and the red brings just the right pop of color!
ReplyDeleteVery nice socks even if they are backwards. Honestly, no one is going to notice that.
