In honor of Socktoberfest, I decided to knit socks with my own handspun.
So this
was turned into this:
Fiber is 60% superwash merino, 30% bamboo rayon and 10% nylon, hand-dyed by Cloudlover, in R’lyeh
I spun it when I was waiting to hear about the bar exam (passed!) so it’s a bit uneven. The Heelless Sleeping Sock by Nancy Bush (in Knitting Vintage Socks) is very forgiving.
The pattern calls for the ribs to rotate in an S-twist direction, but just for kicks I decided to do one Z-twist.
They’re the most fraternal socks I’ve ever made, but I still like them.
Speaking of socks, this is all I bought at Stitches East:
I see a lot of socks in my future. Perfect, because I have a TON of sock yarn in my stash!

Heelless, huh? How do they feel on your feet? Strange at all? They look great!
Love the socks. And congrats on passing the bar!
Love the new socks. Good luck with your plan to use up your yarn!
The socks look great, and congrats on passing the bar!
Beautiful socks!
And I love that book.. lots of great patterns in there.
Congrats on passing the bar exam!
And have fun with the new sock book. I bought it a year and half ago when I visited North America and I still take it off the shelf to look at it on a regular basis. I’ve tried three patterns and finished two of them.
Those socks are soooo pretty! the colors really look good with that stitch pattern.
Pretty! They look great … so congrats on the socks and the exam!
Those turned out great! Do they really not have a heel, like a tube sock?
I have tht book and love it, though I have yet to knit any of the patterns.
Congrats on finishing your Socktoberfest socks! They look great. I’m still working on mine – don’t think I’ll actually finish them by tomorrow. But soon!
YAY for passing the bar. We cheered for you at dinner last night… well for you and Tracy – she is now board certified.
I also love that we finally convinced you to knit some socks.
