Two Pair of Socks

Last night while watching Monday Night Football I completed these socks, including weaving the ends. 

The yarn for this pair is from Hand Painted Knitting Yarns (HPKY) 65% superwash wool 25% nylon 10% donegal; 463 yards 3.5 oz.  I used my pattern, in stockinette until halfway up the leg, switched to K3 P1 for a while, then K2 P2 rib to the top of the cuff.

The color is 'Parsifal' and are pretty true in this picture.  They were fun to knit, the yarn was soft.  I can't wait to wear them, probably tomorrow.

Finished This Pair

Also, last night, I did the weaving on these socks I knit last week.

Trekking XXL in color 80.  I resigned myself to 'not match' these socks.  They will be warm and cozy. 

Off to split and wind some more sock yarns.

Trekking and Austermann are two yarns that I have despaired of matching. I just content myself with fraternal twins - but still lovely!

I like that comment, "fraternal twins". I'm loving both pair, but really can't wait to see the new flecky ones in person!

[Lorette]

I like both pairs, but that Parsifal yarn is spectacular!

Love both of them - you inspire me with your super-long cuffs! The most I ever knit is maybe 8". Yours look like knee-socks!

[Chelle]

You knit so beautifully. Wanted to let you know that I once again used your wonderful sock pattern and the socks turned out great! This is the third pair I made from your pattern - one in worsted, one in sport weight and one now in fingering weight.

Chery, I'm so glad you're back! I miss seeing your exquisite and prolific knitting. Hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great Holiday Season.

I love that Trekking! I always avoid their self striping colorways, but no more!

i love the length of your socks. did you use a skein for each sock?
