I'm still waiting for my Rockin' Sock Club package, and was getting a little bored with
Wicked, so I dove into some new yarn that I picked up at
Renaissance Yarns on Friday:
It's Duet Sock Yarn by
A Swell Yarn Shop, in the Leprechaun colorway. This yarn comes as a set--self striping yarn plus a little contrasting yarn for the heel & toe. Here's a close up:
And here's how far I got on a pair of
Jaywalkers before realizing that I was knitting socks for a giant instead of for myself:
This is the big problem with two socks at once--by the time you know that your gauge is off, there's a lot to rip out. I'm restarting on one sock, on size US 0 needles. Of course, I'm not sure why I'm knitting wool St. Patrick's Day socks, given that I'll be in AZ at Spring Training on the 17th. At least it takes the pressure off for finishing them on time!

I thought that the Jaywalkers came out a bit baggy too but I kind of liked it slouchy. Pretty spring color though!
Your wicked looks great and I love those socks, ZSo cheerful. BTW, thanks so much for the pattern! You're a doll!
Love the pattern you are using for the Duet Sock Yarn!
You must be a loose knitter too if you are knitting on 0s!
The striping looks really neat in that pattern!!
