pairs no. 7 and 8 of 2010

I'm checking in with two newly finished pairs of socks. This past weekend was very good to me, knitting-wise.



Yarn: OnLine Supersocke Afrika (about 80% of the skein)
US 1 needles
basic stockinette

I have a hunch that these socks will wear like iron. It wasn't the softest yarn to knit with, but BOY does it make for a solid pair of socks.

Next up is my latest pair of Socks that Rock socks.



Quinault Canopy, mediumweight (93% of a skein -- yippee for toe-up!)
US 2 needles
Rav details

These might be the tallest socks I've ever knit. Love 'em!

These are my seventh and eighth pairs of socks for 2010 -- putting me ahead of schedule for my goal of knitting 12 pairs of socks this year.

I'm hard at work on a pair of stripey socks, thanks to some Vesper sock yarn I got in a membership to the Vesper Yarn Club two whole summers ago (gulp). I also picked up my long-suffering Clapotis and knocked out another repeat, so perhaps I'll finish that up before, oh, the end of the year ...
