16 Aug 2008 the socks i’ve been waiting all summer for

Before I got sock yarn for my birthday, I had already signed up for a sock club (SSSSYC) based on the fact that I would get one skein of wonderful, rainbow striped yarn. The yarn arrived this week. I was going to wait and knit up the yarn from the Pride and Prejudice book/sock club instead, but I’ve both had a migraine and been waiting for a back issue of Interweave Knits to arrive so I could knit my pair of wine and roses mitts.

I’m tired of waiting to knit with this yarn, so I present: the socks I’ve been waiting all summer for:

Marigold Sock in Painted Tiger Panda Rainbow

Marigold Sock in Painted Tiger Panda Rainbow

Pattern: Marigold Sock, by Pam of Flint Knits
Yarn: Rainbow on Panda by the Painted Tiger (yarn selection for this pattern inspired by pride marigolds)
Needles: 2.25 mm (US 1)
Modifications: Afterthought heel instead of short row heel.

Less blog. More knit.

  1. I love them! They look like happy ’70’s socks (in a good way!) to me… or a roll of Life Savers :) or Fruit Loops:) Cheerful childhood memories socks:):)

    I’ve missed you this week, but seeing these socks, it was worth it!

  2. Boo just said… “I don’t like them… I LOVE THEM!”
