Shorty Sock Season

With the temperatures rising now is the time for shorty socks! I've just finished two pairs, one dubbed the ugliest socks every featured in this post and this lovely spring pair I just finished out a 50 gram ball that I had in stash.


This first pair done is Regia that is the perfect colors for spring! So bright and happy but very warm for short socks. I like the sturdiness of a Regia sock, I don't worry about what shoes I'm wearing and they always look great even after tons of wear.



Look at how cute these socks are! They scream spring! I think they'll be coming to Europe with me in a few weeks. I really love these socks because the gusset increase runs along the bottom of the foot (these were knit from the toe-up) and they fit like a glove!


And my ugliest socks ever are done too! My mom and I had a good laugh because we checked her stash and she has a hank of this too! LOL! We are so predictable, we have very similar tastes and usually end up with the same yarn. She's going to try and sell hers.


I've just started The Yarn Whisperer by Clara Parkes for my yarn shops book club. Joining Frontier Dreams for her along this week. So but also happy to note Ginny from Small Things is stopping her along. Enjoy your life Ginny, I'll be following along!

  4. Love your pretty shortie socks, they look like a bouquet of spring flowers! And I had a giggle at your 'ugly' socks. They are bright, that's for sure!
