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. :)

  6. 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!

  7. 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.
