After finishing up the last pair of socks, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to knit next. I was pretty sure it was going to be another pair of socks…but I had no idea what yarn I was going to use.

That is, until I did my studio clean up.

I bought this skein from Lens some time last year when I was visiting with Mom (she bought a skein too). And then I promptly left it at her place. When I was down there in February, I tossed it in one of my bags, brought it home and there it stayed until I finally cleaned the bag out on studio clean up day.

I originally planned to make Dave a pair of socks with it…. but…. I don’t have any grey socks. And I have a fair bit of grey in my wardrobe (as demonstrated by my dress fabric behind the skein).

With that determined, I needed to decide on a pattern. Years ago I made the Broken Seed Stitch socks. I wore them constantly until I ultimately wore them out. So it was time to make anothe pair.

Paired with some solid black Regia, I think these are going to be a great pair of neutral socks! Of course, I have to finish them first… so back to knitting!
