Happy feet!
I finished Billy’s second sock tonight. He was so happy with them, he did a happy feet dance.
He said, “Wow! These are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever worn!” That’s a direct quote, folks. And that means the man has earned many more pairs of socks in the future. After I make a couple of Koigu pairs for myself, of course. I’ll be casting on the first of the Koigu tomorrow.
The capelet is also winding down toward its finish, so I’m starting to think about what project I want to start next. I want to swatch for Season this week, so maybe I’ll finally tackle that one. That for my more complicated at-home-alone project, the Koigu socks for my mindless subway knitting, and then the rest of the WIPS (the MC scarf, my Mom’s sweater, the [aborted but soon to be taken up again] toddler sweater) worked in between… That should be enough for the time being. Ugh…oh, yeah, and the many hats I need to make for holiday gifts. Hats are quick, anyway. I’ll sneak them in where I can.
Awesome socks! Love the happy dance, too. He definitely deserves more socks (someday). I’ll put up photos of my Regia sock asap, but I’m using old-fashioned technology! And I can only buy rolls of 36 exp. film here, so… a couple of weeks? (sigh!)

Technical questions: How many stitches did you cast on for the man-size socks? What size needles?

WOW! Those socks are terrific!!! I love it’s colorway and someone sure seems to love them. Guess that means he’ll want more socks. 😉

I love the colorway too, just as much as I love that Billy’s gone and done the Happy Feet Dance. Awesome.
I am ready to attack some pumpkins!

Thanks! I’m really happy with the way they turned out.
I cast on 72 stitches on size 2 Addis… I used the “Simple Sock” pattern from Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles.

I hate to break it to you, babes. Once you go Koigu, you never go back. Just impossible.

Oh! Happy dancing feet! Looking very snappy in those stylish socks, too. Makes me want to start sock knitting. Okay, almost 🙂
