I had completed 3 pair of socks. Just 18 rows of 2×2 rib, stockinette for like a million rows, knit flap, turn heel, a million more rows of stockinette. Shape toe, concentrate real hard for kitchner stitch then ….oh, that’s it? The thrill was really short lived for me. I knew it was time to pounce to the next level. So I embarked upon my first pair of Fair Isle socks.
I had so much fun I finished them Sunday. They were about a month on the needles and I must say, “They ROCK!”
Not only because I used Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock in 4 amazing colorways but because I made up the design all by myself!
The socks use the same colors with a slight variation that made 2nd sock syndrome impossible for me. ( I have never suffered from 2nd sock syndrome, I am not so certain about other syndromes however)
