blue and green
Welcome to finish it up Friday!
I recently completed knitting my 18th pair of hand knit socks. They might be my favorite pair to date! I love this self-striping yarn. It made it easy to make two socks nearly the same size. (I was one row off on the green tip at the toes. So close!!!) The yarn is Regia Stripemania 6 Ply in the Forest colorway. I have a few kiddos who would love to claim them as their own, but I don't see that happening! As usual, I used my basic sock pattern, with ribbing on the leg portion of the sock and stockinette stitch through the foot portion. They are so cozy!
I finished my scattered showers quilt this week, too! The only problem is that it's raining too much to get decent photos. Oh, the irony! I'll show it fully as soon as I can. :)

Oh they are gorgeous socks! You've done a fabulous job on the stripe matching, no wonder the kids are after them!!
ReplyDeleteThese socks are adorable! :)
ReplyDeletelove your socks!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love your socks!!! I need to learn how to do that ;) And I can't wait to see your scattered showers quilt, so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteScattered showers looks amazing already. The socks look cozy-- be sure to hide them from the kids!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are going to be great as the cool weather moves in. Haha - too rainy to take photos of scattered showers. How silly. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Those socks do look comfy and cozy. Can't wait to see more of your Scattered Showers quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are delightful (what fantastic yarn) and the rain is definitely ironic for your quilt finish; it will be fun to see the full reveal when the sun comes back out for you.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are gorgeous! Love the stripes and they look so cozy! It's been unusually hot here but I can imagine months of rain are on their way, also hard when you need to take pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to LOVE that quilt! Can't wait to see it (and drool over it).
ReplyDeleteGreat socks. I look forward to a full show of your newest quilt!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a mini-quilt for the Teal Mini Swap.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the socks!
ReplyDeleteI adore those socks!! Everytime I see such a lovely pair, I always want to dive back in to sock making... I currently have three socks from my first attempt Lol!!! I don't think that fourth is ever going to get made ;)
ReplyDeleteXX!!! I hope you had a lovely vacation!!
Those socks are awesome! The quilting looks fantastic on your quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just your kiddos who would love them--put me in line! Those colors are fantastic! (and I would not consider them one green stripe off)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt tease is just not right, your know.
I don't knit so how do you get the colours to match on each sock? (I get self striping yarn and think that's pretty cool but anything beyond that is well, beyond me.)
ReplyDeleteIt shows the quality of the wool that each colour has the exact same length - great looking socks by the way :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous socks!! And lucky me - I saw the beautiful quilt finish in person!
ReplyDeleteSocks are so good! Thanks for keeping up finish it friday, it's been a long time since I linked up :)
ReplyDeleteLove those socks! I am so impressed that they are the same size. Hopefully a sunny day will appear soon so we can see the full reveal on the showers quilt.
ReplyDeleteI was just mentioning today that you knit some pretty awesome socks and that YOU ACTUALLY WEAR THEM! Both socks and quilt=LOVELY.
ReplyDeletelove your socks! and thanks for the pattern link! great quilting on that quilt!!
ReplyDeleteyay for socks! i can't stop knitting them!
ReplyDeleteFunny socks, lovely colors! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting design on your quilt and am looking forward to see it entirely!
