Watermelon socks? In May? Well, yes. I haven't knit any socks in almost three months and when I saw this yarn in my stash, I thought--this is it! I am so tired of cold wind, dark clouds, and rain. We are just starting to get some nice weather--a little blue in the sky, some sun. I am done with winter and I skipping right over spring into summer. Oh, I'll go back (maybe) and knit some spring socks. But for now I'm going to pretend it's summer.
I plan to knit quite a few pairs of socks this summer, many in plain stockinette. I am on a quest to find the perfect plain vanilla pattern. This pair was knit over 60 stitches using size 0 needles. I began with k2(b), p2 ribbing for 12 rounds. The needle size seems right but on the next pair I knit I'm going to use 64 stitches. We'll see how that works.
Pretty!!!
