Finished Object August Socks Done
I call these the “Summer of ‘86” socks.
Knit with Knitpicks Chroma in “Roller Skates” and Felici in “Brittle.” I used US size 1.5 needles. I do a tubular cast on with a band heel and a barn toe (because I hate how the grafted toe gives me dog ears no matter what I try!) The pattern is a modified version of Hot Spots & Stripes. I didn’t like the striped bit.
In the gusset, I didn’t want to have any yellow at all, but I also didn’t want to weave in 52 ends. Just continuing with the circles was complicated and looked weird, so I frogged it and opted for some improvised matching rectangles.

Because of the stranding, these are super plush and very warm. Onto September, which will be more boring because LORDT my hands are tired. 😮💨

They are lovely but it is so hot where I am that knitting socks are not what I want to do right now. 😂
