When we were up at the cottage over Labour Day weekend, we stopped in at the local yarn shop Log Cabin Yarns. Mrs. Knits had some fun hand dyed sock yarn that she’d whipped up herself. I couldn’t resist this following skein as it reminds me of Fruit Loops.

We spent a lot of time in the car last week, so I had plenty of time to knit and plenty of sock yarn on hand. I’ve tried my hand at knitting socks before, but I generally don’t like how fiddly it is. On our travels this fall, I want to try to teach myself to learn to like knitting socks as there are lots of knitting techniques to learn. The first pair I whipped up were a basic sport sock. I used slightly bigger needles then the pattern called for (3.5mm instead of 3mm) as those were what I had on hand. The nice thing was that it meant that these knit up even faster.

The fabric is a little looser, but they are awesome for hanging around the house socks. Even better is that I didn’t hate knitting them, so I may have broken my sock curse and learned to like knitting ‘em.
