Since I finished off my Christmas knitting with that last pair of socks, I’m treating myself to a pair.

A while back, I wrote a post about how I like a certain type of sock to sleep in. Well since then… several of my favourite pairs have gone missing. Or at least one of each pair has.

I’m pretty sure Lemmy has something to do with, and the socks are somewhere around here. But until I find them, I need a few replacement pairs, because I CANNOT sleep with cold feet.

I went into the stash for another ball of Felici (I have a couple odd balls and they are good for shorty socks for me). but I got distracted by this crazy rainbow Opal.

I’d originally bought it to make socks for one of my nieces… but they’ve grown up so fast, and the crazy bright colours are no longer their style.

That said… I LOVE cheery socks, especially in the depths of winter, so it was just perfect for me. I’m doing my Undine pattern, just to mix it up a bit. I just did 2-2 rib for the man socks, so I needed something different.

As you can see, the first sock is flying – short sock, small feet – the first sock will probably be off the needles today or tomorrow at the latest. I wonder if I can even get TWO pairs done before the end of the month….
