As soon as I had the Easter socks off the needles, I was casting on for a new pair.

And as you can see… they are FLYING! I’m already through the gusset of the first sock.

That’s for a couple of reasons:

The first is… Stripes! They always go fast. And these, as you can see, are skinny stripes. I feel like skinny stripes always go that much faster.

The second is – it’s Kroy. Many of you know, Kroy seems to be a little heavier than a fingering weight – not quite a sport… but close. I’ve always found it a little uncomfortable to knit on a 2.5mm needle. It’s just a little too snug. So, I decided to treat is as a sport weight. I went up to a 2.75 mm, and down to 56 stitches. And it’s working great. It also means it’s knitting up just that much faster.

This is, of course, the yarn Dave just bought me on our Valentine’s Day excursion. Usually yarns marinate in the stash a little longer than this… but this yarn never actually made it upstairs.

I left it on my table, so it was ready and waiting when I finished the Easter Socks.

This is another pair for me. I am being a bit selfish with my sock knitting lately, but I’ve been putting holes in pairs left and right, so I need to replenish!
