Somehow, I went from this,
To this,
To these,
In a little less than a week. I don’t know where I found the time, but I couldn’t put these down.
The yarn turned out sport weight, so I knit these on 2.75mm (US 2). So really, these were almost the fastest socks I ever knit. The best part? I spun 6 oz of yarn, and these socks only took 3 oz. Anybody keeping score? That means I have a whole extra skein for more socks, or just whatever. Good, cause I really like this yarn. I love how they stripe kind of like trekking, which I knew would happen, and it’s great.
SWEET! They are gorgeous!
Those are awesome! To think, you made those from some White fluff from a sheep…
Wow! Very nice! I am sure you will remember always how you made these from scratch! Wear them proudly every
time they are awesome:)
Those turned out beautifully! Nicely done! And aren’t fast socks just the most gratifying knit ever?
They are fantastic! Love the pretty colors. 🙂
Really beautiful, rich colors!
They look great! I LOVE the colors!

Oh, I love them! They look fantastic!

How about using the leftover yarn to make them into knee socks? 🙂
Those are gorgeous! I can’t imagine how happy those feet are! The stripes turned out beautifully, they are like Trekking (my favorite sock yarn ever but I haven’t tried Koigu yet). It’s enough to send me over to my spinning wheel…(sound of me putting down my computer to go spin…)
Wow! It is my first time to your blog, and I must say, I love those socks. The colors are great!
Fantastic! Love your socks!
I honestly love those socks!!! When I first saw the fiber I thought “intense colours – won´t this be too much?” but the spun yarn looked beautiful and it`s even more beautiful when knit into the socks!!! You have a great and unique feeling for colours – that`s why I enjoy reading your blog so much.
Love the colors! Those are great socks.
That’s some really pretty yarn! I’m glad you had such fun make the socks and will end up with so much more to knit with!
wow! your needles must be smokin! I totally understand why you couldn’t put them down, they are lovely! You did a fantastic job 🙂
Very, very nice. Just beautiful.
Oooh, I like! No wonder you couldn’t put them down….
Those are so awesome! The colors are great, and they look so squishy and soft 🙂 And having 3 oz left over? Priceless.
These are amazing! Great job, every step of the way. Mind if I link to them?
gorgeous spinning and socks!
You damn spinners continue to tempt me. It will be on your head when my children are out of milk ;). These are lovely and they look really comfortable.
Wow….what great colors!!!!
Very very impressed! Speed demon you are. I have some sock yarn in the spinning queue.
They are the bestest socks! Can you share what pattern you used? This is exactly what I want to knit with my extra special Colinette sock yarn.
Beautiful! If I had any doubt about whether I need to get better at spinning, these dazzled it right out of my head. 🙂

SO gorgeous. You are amazing. The monkeys are beautiful too!
