I have signed up on Sock Madness. As I might have a problem finishing in time during the next round and thus there hardly any possibilities to go on to round 3, I needed, for myself to finish fast. First pair finished around 14 hours after release of the pattern. Easy and fast knit – and I did not spend all 14 hours knitting – may be around half or a little more.
The first pair is knitted in selfstriping Bugga. More at Ravelry.
Speaking of socks, I do have lots of yarn in my stash. Of course I have. Some of that is quite a few skeins of Noro. I have a love/hate relationship to that yarn, thus it tend to be staying put. When I did dig out the yarn for the cardi I’m currently knitting, my eyes spotted Silver Thaw. This yarn has 25 % nylon and can be used for socks.
I used needle 3.75, casted on 48 stitches and started knitted. The pattern was made up as I knitted. Fast and fun, except for all those knots. It was not possible at all to get two identical socks from two balls of yarn.

ReplyDeleteLovley display of colours. Sometimes I wish I could get interested in knitting socks but unfortunately not so far.
ReplyDeleteGrey colors.
ReplyDeleteYou made up the sock pattern as you went? That is amazing! Both pairs are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to stay away from Noro! It is beautiful but I don't think I could deal with the frustration!
Kjempefine! :)
