I don&#8217;t usually give in to such things, but I did rather like the colours in this, and had a lovely yellow to compliment them, so&#8230; I caved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is called Cygnet Truly Wool Rich 4 Ply Sock Yarn. I bought it from the devil that is Amazon, and the colourway is called 4572 Mossdale though it comes up as out of stock when I look at it now. I do love how these have come out and it took way less than a ball for the pair. They have others, and of course there are plenty of other self-striping yarns out there to choose from! (I&#8217;m currently lusting after West Yorkshire Spinners in Robin&#8230;.) The cuff, heel and toe contrast is a lovely rich yellow snaffled from my stash, now sadly minus its ball band so I can&#8217;t tell you what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So: basic formula for these was 60 stitches distributed exactly in half for the magic loop  method on a long 3mm circular needle, with a boomerang heel (also known as a German short row heel). I have been thinking about a slightly different method of knitting these, without having to go around the sock body twice in the middle of it. I&#8217;m going to experiment on the socks after the next, I think \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for final full information, both my beautiful blue Duckfeet shoes and my faded red skinny jeans are preloved and recently acquired from eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My next pair is a huge long stripey pair of boot socks. Which should be making an appearance next week if all goes according to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TTFN and happy knitting &lt;3 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These ones are knitted with a sock yarn that popped up in my social media feed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[30,32,35],"tags":[38,39,89,145,167,199,219,237,239,257,260,261,269,278,282,325,340,408,424],"class_list":["post-2278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-news","category-socks","tag-52-socks-2021","tag-52-socks-in-52-weeks","tag-boomerang-heel","tag-cygnet-truly-wool-rich","tag-duckfeet","tag-german-short-row-heel","tag-handknit-socks","tag-hygge","tag-in-my-duckfeet","tag-knit-socks","tag-knitspiration","tag-knitspo","tag-knitting","tag-knitting-inspiration","tag-knittingland","tag-never-not-knitting","tag-operation-sock-drawer","tag-sock-knitting","tag-stripes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Socks.
