The same, but not the same. My socks will be cousins, or sisters, or best buddies. After finishing the first, I didn’t feel like knitting the second in exactly the same way. This is what we do most of the time on “classic” pairs. But this trio of colors won my heart the moment I put the three little ones down together.
I think the reason I love knitting socks so much is because I have a passion for heels. Transforming a simple yarn into a finished piece, giving it shape through decreases or increases and volume with shortened rows is still as magical for me even after all these years. A bit like jumping from 1D to 3D in a few rows.
This pair of socks that was supposed to be all simple and no-fuss, all jersey and plain won’t be after all 😆 I had all the best intentions in the world when I started them. Except that I don’t think I have enough yarn to make the whole pair. This implies a change of strategy.
I always start thinking about my next project when I’m in the final days of a knit. This time, after my Vinterskog sweater, I wanted something fast and effective. So we’ll be wearing socks, or sockettes to be more precise!
ps: in addition to my bi-monthly letter in which I give a glimpse of behind-the-scene of tisserin coquet and share with you all of my latests favourites in the crafting world, you’ll also get 20% off all my new patterns.
