I’ll admit it. I’m really proud of these socks.
Sparkly Garter Rib Socks
I’ve knitted well over a hundred pairs of socks, but this is the very first pair I have ever knitted with yarn that I spun. They aren’t the prettiest socks I have made, but I still rather like them.
On the spinning front, I finished spinning and plying the lovely Corriedale roving from Sunset Fibers. The yarn is still on the bobbin, but I considered it to be a finished object and eligible for inclusion in a FO Friday post. 🙂

Happy Winter Solstice to all of you.

Great socks! I’m due to make a pair too. 🙂
Thanks. I love knitting socks and always have at least one OTN.
🙂 I haven’t knitted a pair for about three months. However, I always have sock yarn in my stash that I can start when ever I feel like it. Merry Christmas. Regula
Merry Christmas and happy new year! Keep on knittin’!
I think they’re pretty fab socks. I’d wear them proudly. Well done!
Thank you. I still need to wash them, but I think I’ll wear them this weekend.
Love them!!! They will be so cheery on your feet.
Thanks. I think they would be cheery on my feet, but my future daughter-in-law fell in love with them, and I decided they would be even more cheery on her feet. 🙂
Q – LOVE the socks! Kudos to you!!
Danke!
LOVE those socks!!! I think handspun socks are so quirky! But I love them that way. Might just live in an ultra conservative sphere though. So, it’s definitely nice to break out of the mold every once n a while with something unexpected. Congrats on your first pair!
Thanks. There are definitely more handspun socks in my knitting future.
