Yup, Knitting.
Aren’t these pretty?
I can’t stop looking at them. I couldn’t stop knitting them either. I started them on Tuesday,and finished them on Saturday.
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Lite. Yes. Lite. Noro has come out with a lighter weight version of their fab Silk Garden, one of my all time favs. I’ve always wanted to knit socks out of silk garden, so I saw this yarn as a perfect opportunity. Color # 2014. 2 Skeins.
They feel just like Silk Garden, and are very soft!
Needles: Addi US 2 (3mm) 32″ Knit one at a time, Magic Loop Style.
Pattern: None, really. Just my standard Toe Up, with Short Row Heel.
I can’t recommend Toe Up socks enough. This is all the yarn I had left over:

Those are very pretty! Nicely done. I might have to scout out the Noro SG lite now.
Ah, but how many skeins?…
*Gasp* Those are beautiful!
*thud*
Faints at thought of all the possibilities that Noro Socks represent.
Beautiful socks! Two questions for you…how many skeins and how do these socks feel? Scratchy?
Wow! Those are incredible! Two skeins, not bad. Is there a lot of veggie matter in the skein like regular Silk Garden?
Noro socks! What more could you want??!!
Great socks! I love it when I’m so into the knitting that I finish really fast.
Wow. Those are beautiful!
Great socks!!!
But man….that wee bit of yarn left would have been freaking me out….
)
Glad it all worked out for ya
Be still my beating heart… those are the ultimate socks! I need some! Thanks for the idea!
Curse you Julia. You’re making it very hard for me to stick to my yarn diet. Those socks are gorgeous. Love the colors.
Oooooh! Those are stunning. I am a beginner sock knitter, but ooooh I want those! I am going to have to learn toe up. Oooooh! did I say that already?
Those are incredibly beautiful! Just gorgeous! Off to buy some right now! Wait, after I stock up at your shop that is! : )
oh. my. god. those are the most beautiful socks EVER. merciful heavens, i must get my hands on some Noro. wow.
Very cool sockage
Awesome is right! Those socks kick ass. Thanks for the inspiration!
Those are really pretty socks!
Oh my – those are loverly! Sweet monkeys, why didn’t anyone tell me that they make Silk Garden Lite? (Although I doubt that I would be as clever as you and knit socks with it.) But now it is definitely on my “list.”
Simply STUNNING! I did not know the Silk Garden Lite was available – thanks!
I’m in covetous love! YUM.
wow! I love the colors!! Great socks Julia : )
Awesome indeed! These socks are amazing, Julia. I am sold! Once this yarn diet is over, I will make a pair of these babies
SO PRETTY. I also must know if they are scratchy/itchy? My klaralund is a bit scratchy…
Ahhh! I *must*knit this! Ahh! Ahh! Freaking beautiful socks!
Love those socks! Love everything about them! Especially the amount that you have left over. Can’t stand left over sock yarn. I always make mine toe-up, but not quite sure where to put the increases (to minimize that dreaded left over amount & all).
I love those socks.
I gotta find me that yarn!!
Without hesitation yes, they are very pretty. I must say that I am a Noro fan and a lighter weight SG … SOLD baby!!!
