This is my 25th pair of hand knit socks that I've made to date. They had a lot of issues (like me, hahaha!), so they went into time out for about a week. After that time, I was able to frog back and fix the mistakes that I had made. (This was my first time doing partial frogging successfully, which was a big deal!) I'm so pleased that they are finished, and more importantly, finished well. I LOVE THEM!! They are warm and happy...perfect for these dreary fall days! The yarn is Malabrigo sock yarn. The color is 857 light of love. (I wonder who gets to name these things!)
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the MONTH....if you have multiple finishes to share, please feel free to link up more than one! Thank you, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday! I know that some of you miss having a weekly link up, but I have to say, that doing it once a month has been so helpful for my sanity. (I don't have that much to spare. hahaha!) Anyway, I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!
Oh my goodness, those rainbow socks are just to cute for words!!! Love, love, love!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am one who walks around in socks all the time - I dot like going barefoot. Anyway, I feel like I would hate to wear through these. Do they wear out faster than boring store bought socks? Just curious as I am not a knitter - they seem like they take a long time. Both pair are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the knitting inspiration; I've been thinking of learning how to knit something other than a dishcloth or a scarf. I may finally have to take some time away from quilting to learn.
ReplyDeleteOh, the Felici socks are so much fun! Looks like you will have happy, cozy feet this fall.
ReplyDeleteLight of love is an interesting name for a color. Your socks are always so cute and fun. If you have to suffer through cold weather, this is definitely one happy way to do it.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time deciding which pair I like better! :D
ReplyDeleteBoth pairs look so warm and cheery! The pink ones, though, perfect for October!
ReplyDeleteFelici gets released twice a year in early summer and November. It's a Knit Picks yarn. Why yes, I am a Felici hoarder!
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice work.
Both sets look wonderful! Love the stripes!
ReplyDeleteGosh, both pairs are great. I need to pull out some yarn and get working. It's been ages since I made a pair. Actually I might have a pair started somewhere, I need to look through the various yarn hidey holes. hmmm
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty socks! Wish I could knit like. I can knit. Just not like that.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks! I recently decided to try to get back into knitting and finished up my first scarf. It's quite wonky but that didn't stop past me from casting on a pair of socks in all my novice glory. I wonder if I will remember how to finish them!
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you host Finish it Up Friday at all. I can imagine that a weekly comittment is challenging!
Love 'em! I loved the pink pair at first sight, I love them even more now that I know they were knitted with 'light of love'.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The pink color is my favorite ever!
ReplyDeleteThose socks look so comfy!!! That pink color is awesome!! Thanks for hosting finish it up Friday....whether it is weekly or monthly ;-)))
ReplyDeleteYour socks are excellent!! I love both pair but the striped ones rock! Enjoy your day!!
ReplyDeleteI’m so envious of your sock making skill!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your socks! Love that pink!
ReplyDeleteI’m afraid my knitting is not my strong point! I can never finish any knitting these days! I have a jumper and a waistcoat that “I just had to make” waiting on their needles ..... one day!
Thank you for hosting, Amanda Jean.
Hugs,
Barbara xx
These look wonderful. I need to tackle socks again....
