I did it!
I pushed through and got the ribbed socks complete! For a refresher, they were knit with Farmer’s Daughter Sock Squad. The colour was bitterroot, with a coordinating mini skein that I used for the heels and toes. The yarn was a prize/gift from Bridget over at Ravell’d Sleave. Thank you Bridget! It was a lovely yarn to knit with. I just wish I hadn’t chosen to so so much darn ribbing! Lol.
But it’s done now, and I get to cast on something new. And I’m giving myself a bit of a challenge. My dear friend Aneesha got married in a private little ceremony last month and I’m thrilled for her.
The newly weds are having a little celebration with friends in late April. She’s said no gifts, but you know I have to make something. I thought it would be fun to make them a pair of non-matchy matching socks! I dug through my stash and came up with a couple skeins I think echo the colours in her dress/flowers (at least as close as I can get)
Now the challenge is – can I get TWO pairs of socks… one of them man-sized… done before the party in late April! I think I can, I think I can!

If anyone can get those socks finished it’s you! Congrats on the finish. Ribbing is a chore but it really looks great in that colorway.
