More socks

OFF MY NEEDLES:

Candy Shoppe socks  #OperationSockDrawer. February 14 - March 14.  This pair is for me.  I used Knit Picks Felici in the Candy Shoppe colorway, and they were knit on US 1 - 2.25mm needles.  The first sock was knit cuff-down with a German Shortrow Heel. I’m not a matchy-matchy person normally, but for some reason I wanted matching socks. I think it had something to do with the colors.  However when I started the second skein for the second sock, the colorway was running in reverse. So the second sock was knit toe-up.  That was actually kind of fun, and I might do that again (cuff-down & toe-up).  



Northern Lights and Northern Lights Redux are two pair of ankle socks which were a gift for a friend.  I used Knit Picks Stroll Handpainted in the Northern Lights colorway for both. The Redux pair also used Knit Picks Hawthorne kettle dyed in the Goddess colorway.  The start/finish dates were January 6-22 and February 22 - March 5, respectively.  They were both knit cuff-down with heel flap & gusset on US 1 - 2:25mm needles.
