Striped Bamboo Walking Socks

Finished 5/1/18

Hand spun merino

I finished these earlier this year...the first yarn I both spun and knit.  The yarn is a lot bluer in person.

49ers colors - Plain Socks to travel with

Started 3/24.

Basic 64 stitch sock, 1” 2x2 rib.

Monkey Socks

So named because they sort of look like the red cuff/heel/toe socks that they make sock monkeys out of.

Just a basic sock with yearn I’ve had for a long time....

Second sock finished today 

Charade (at Ravelry)

Pattern found at Ravelry

I messed up a bit at the top side of the sock, at the heel turn, but I think unless you're looking you won't see it.

It's a pretty pattern and I'll use it again.

Finished sock #2 on April 4, 2018
