Kick It socks (Chamois Day, 15th of Harvest, Year 228)

[neotoma]

I started a pair of socks today, mainly because all of my other projects are either complicated, large, or both. Sometimes you just want to knit something easy that you don't have to think too much about and can get done fast.

So I started the Kick in the Pants sock pattern using Centripetal Acceleration from String Theory Colorworks; it's a fuchsia, lilac, fuchsia, turquoise self-striping yarn that yields equal sized stripes. I have it the Tachyon yarn base, which is a superwash Blue-Faced Leicester yarn. I have a matching mini-skein for cuffs, heels, and toes -- a bright fuchsia in Photon, a yarn that is superwash merino, nylon, and stellina (sparkles!)





After about 2 hours of knitting, I have a good start on the first sock. I'd forgotten how fun sock-knitting can be.

String Theory Colorworks specializes in self-striping yarns with bold colors and science-y names. If use yarn in any kind of craft, you should look into them. I'm really impressed at how uniform the striping is so far.
