With Paisley’s birthday socks done, the sock needles were empty. I don’t like it when sock needles are empty.
Socks are just too perfect to pick up and take with you when you need some road knitting. So regardless of what else I have on the needles, I always want at least one pair of socks going too.
So…
Ok… so it’s not exactly ON the the needles, but what I can I say? I was on a roll. The yarn is our Stray Cat (sport weight), so it knits up pretty quick. It’s dyed as a gradient (one of Mom’s creations). As you can see, it goes from a cream to a pretty clay colour with darker speckles all over.
These are for Dad, and I think they are the last birthday present I need to knit for the year, though I have to consult my excel sheet to be sure.
And as for those needles being empty, don’t worry – the second sock has already been started!

Nice socks and nice yarn too. I like how the color changes. My sock needles are empty right now but I have an order from Knit PIcks that is supposed to arrive Friday. I’m so excited.
Blessings,

Your Dad will love the socks. You are certainly organized to have a spreadsheet for gift knitting. I like that.

That sock is just wonderful! Love the yarn. They will be very special for your Dad since the yarn was dyed by your Mom and you knitted the socks.

The yarn is really cool–speckled AND a gradient, too! Nice job on the speed sock!

I now like to have a sock hanging around at all times. I can knit socks thoughtlessly;. They are so fun and so easy for me. Light on my hands too. I wear them out and I love my knit socks
