The weather is truly getting cold and I noticed I have a shortage of wool socks that I actually want to wear. I have all sort of colourful patterned socks but I mostly wear neutrals so I need more everyday socks.
A while back Novita came out with a collection of beautiful tweed colourways in their most classic yarn that is best suited for socks and mittens. I stocked up on the natural white and grey immediately to make sure I won’t miss out.
I had some spare time at work while waiting for the machine to run a cycle so after one day spend on my phone, I took my knitting needles and a skein or yarn with me. Wool socks are super easy to me because I’ve done a million pairs and a simple basic one needs no pattern or much consentration. I tied a canvas bag into a fence thingy for easy access and to protect my yarn from all the oil and dirt around.
It was no surprise that once I got into my knitting, the boss finally figured out another task for me to do between the cycles and I only got to do a few centimetres. I continued at home and with a thick yarn and a basic pattern, it only takes a couple evenings to finish and I’ll have my cute new little socks to wear.
I find knitting socks pretty boring these days because I have gone up to the big league of knitting sweaters but I’m always happy to have a brand spanking new pair.
