One of my traditions is, after all the hustle and bustle of Christmas is out of the way, to start a little knitting project that’s just for me.
That’s usually because I’ve spent the months before Christmas working on gift projects. While there wasn’t as much gift knitting in 2023, I still felt I deserved to knit myself a little treat.
A little pair of anklets from a leftover ball of Felici. The colour is Punch Bug, and I originally used it to make Miss Pee a pair of fingerless gloves.
I’m using some black Stroll for heels and toes so I don’t have to break up the striping sequence. Interestingly… the stripes match up just perfect between the socks – and that’s not something I made happen. I don’t mind mis-matched stripes, but it’s fun that these ones matched all on their own.
I’ve just started down the gusset of the second sock, and since these are for me, the foot isn’t very long. I hope to have an FO post for you next week.

That’s a great tradition!
I’ve got so many me projects in the work and planned but until I get my Big Gray Blob finished I feel guilty working on them. I need to get over that. I really need that Riddari that I’m making for ME finished.

That’s one of my favorite felici colorways! You deserve those socks Val. And to have the stripes match without trying. Bonus points!
