Slouchy Socks

I found some socks while browsing through Ravelry that looked so comfortable.  They are the Feminine Raggsokker by Ingrid Nodtvedt.  They seemed perfect for those days when you are just hanging around the house.  They will be great with shorts or leggings depending on the weather.

I started going through my stash, and I couldn't find what I wanted.  These socks use worsted yarn, and that is not a weight I buy much of.  Then I found my Cascade Yarns Spuntaneous Worsted Effect in the 314 colorway.  Although the yarn is single ply, I decided to go ahead and use it.  These socks will not be getting a great deal of wear and tear.  They will never be worn with shoes, and just at home.  I love the many color speckles throughout and thought it would work very well with this pattern.

Simple Variegated Socks

I found some pretty variegated yarn that I wanted to use to make socks.  After browsing for patterns, I couldn't find any that I felt would show off the colors, and also not be lost in them.  So I decided on just a simple stockinette sock.


I loved the pop of green mixed with the purple and blue.  The yarn is Three Irish Girls Adorn Luxe in the Bryn colorway.   It is 85/15 merino and nylon.  I realized I had previously bought the same yarn but in the Fire dance colorway from the same LYS.   I currently have it queued for Sketch it Cowl.   I'm just glad I didn't manage to get the same colorway.
