Socks to Celebrate
A young friend mentioned quite a long time ago, that she might like a pair of hand-knit socks. Or maybe not, it was a long time ago. But I promised myself that when she graduated from university, I'd make her a pair of socks. And now she has. So I did.
They're Painting Columns Socks, designed by Stephen West. The fun color combination is from a bundle designed for Stephen's socks (there's a couple of patterns they would suit) from La Bien Aimee. It's been a minute since I've knit socks. It was fun to play with the colors, and the rhythm of the pattern made making two identical-ish socks pretty easy.

Those are great socks, Pam! I think they could even get me interested in knitting socks again . . . I seem to have lost my sock-knitting mojo about the time Brian graduated from high school and I no longer had his hockey games/practices to knit through . . . (and he turns 32 later this month, so it's been a minute!). XO
