Sock Nut
I finished my other knitting project so I got to start the thing I really wanted to work on right now.
Another pair of socks.
I'm using the same pattern as before, and as I told Hub Man last night with four colors in the sock, the permutations are almost endless. And knowing my proclivity for such thoughts as: 'I wonder how they would look with THIS combination?' I could be in for quite a stretch with this pattern.
And I am feeling very smug about my sock making technique too.
I have dubbed them Semi Simultaneous Socks. I just can't see working one whole sock to completion and then having to start over from the beginning on the next.... hence I am doing it this way:

In the higher echelons of the knitting world, there are people who actually do knit them simultaneously. I've seen the directions for it. I got a headache trying to get my brain around it. This seemed so much simpler to me.
Ain't they cute?
I am inordinately fond of them. They make me think of something Mary Englebrightish because of those checkers. She's big on checkers....
(You're big on minutia.)
What can I say? I'm easily amused.
(Of this I have no doubt whatsoever.)

They are very cute! Is this the pattern you will use for mine? I think Mary E. would be very proud of you and I love her style. :o)

Those socks look like fun things to give for birthdays. Or other events. Or just because.
Like those colors so far.

They are very cute!! Plus you're doing color changes and I haven't even made that attempt yet, coward that I am. ;o)

What very smart socks! Well done!
The last knitting I did was a layette for a friend's baby early this year. That was fun, too.
