Socks Made with Hand Dyed Yarn

Socks Made with Hand Dyed Yarn



Ta dah!  I finished something.  I really have been knitting a lot lately but the problem is that I am knitting so many things that I am not finishing many things.

In my last post (see HERE), I showed how I had dyed some yarn at home using Kool Aid and Easter egg dye.  I knit up the yarn into socks and here they are.





I used 2.50 mm needles for these socks and the pattern is called "Jeck"; it is a FREE pattern on Raverly.  The pattern is not very noticeable knit up in my colorful yarn but I am sure I will use this pattern again. I enjoyed knitting it.  It's just a two row repeat so it's not too fussy and it's easy to memorize.

As you can see below, Sandy "The Yarn Connoisseur", enjoyed helping me while I was knitting these socks.



She's happiest when she can lay on me but she doesn't like to be poked with the double pointed needles.  It's rough being a dog sometimes.  Sandy does prefer knitting with circular needles as opposed to dpns.

It's fun to see how these socks developed!



Happy Knitting.  I am hoping to have some other finished objects to share sometime soon, but no promises.  I should have a "work in progress" post perhaps.
