March Socks

Slipstream Socks (rav) by Marlowe Crawford
Malabrigo Sock in Tiziano
I finished them on time!


sole detail of shaping

The original plan was this:


but when I found the Slipstream pattern at the Verb booth, I couldn't resist. The Malabrigo Sock was a dream, squishy, soft, and stretchy, and the shaping kept my attention through the foot. (I do think I knit the mock cables a little weird, at least until I started on the chart, but I don't mind.)

Pattern substitutions are allowed, as long as I have 12 (or more) pairs of socks at the end of the year!

For April, I have a gorgeous skein of Tactile's Superwash Merino Fingering yarn in Dogwood. It's been absolutley addictive to knit with so far. We have a bunch of colors at LLK, so perhaps I can get two pairs for me from this!
