Crazy DK socks

Sometimes I just get an urge to cast on for something awesome and crazy right this second. I have other WIP's that are also awesome, but for some reason last weekend I was overcome with the desire to knit myself a pair of crazy, funky, slouchy, cozy heavy socks. I'm using every colour I have in my leftover dk scraps bin, and I'm knitting whatever pattern I feel like. Sometimes just stripes, sometimes a little simple fair isle if the mood strikes. This sock makes me very happy. 

Happy Friday! I hope to have a pair of crazy mismatched socks by Monday. :)

Love these but now I'm intrigued to see the other side.

I love these! But whoa Bob on all the ends to weave in...

I can't wait to see the finished pair. Right side out :-) You'll have to let us know how comfy they are.

i was struck by the exact same feeling! I wanted to make giant over the knee socks though. But I thought it was too crazy because my scraps are usually different fibers, and ended up doing something else. Now seeing yours I wish I'd given it a try!

What a fun project. Well, not the weaving in ends part... but I am sure the work will be well worth it once you have a new pair o' socks.

whoa, the ends to weave in!! I can't wait to see the other side of these socks, they look fantastic already!

Nothing better than following your instinct! I look forward to see them on the right side you teaser!

Heather said...

That is so funny, and cool. Can't wait to see the finished pair! So will you make the second one just like the first one?

this is exactly what I want to do with all my leftover sock yarn. the mitered square blanket just doesn't do it for me. I love your socks!
