I have come to the realization that what I like to knit and what I like to wear are two different things. I love to knit lacy socks, cable socks, and anything pretty but the socks I like to wear are the plain jane socks. Just plain stockinette stitch.
I have made too many socks with colourful yarn that fight with the patterns. So I am going to knit one pair of plain socks for every patterned pair.
Here are a pair of socks I knit for myself. Love the colours and fit of these socks. I am enjoying knitting earthy colours. My bright coloured yarns will have to wait for be knit.
