Knit socks:
My pair in Noro Silk Garden Light. I didn't even bother trying to match them exactly, as the colorways in Noro are not necessarily that predictable. I was pleasantly surprised that the feet just happened to match so well, even though the tops are different. I suppose if I had knit them toe-up rather than top down, the tops would have matched. Oh well. At least they look like they belong together.
The blue socks are also finished, and the second sock went surprisingly quickly, despite the ribbing. They are actually the same size, but the first sock has spent more time on the foot of the recipient, being admired although not yet really worn much. Not much you can do with one sock, at least not as long as you have two feet.
I've already started my next project, which you will see soon enough and I have managed to spend a couple of hours up in the studio, beginning the long process of unpacking, although you couldn't really tell that yet if you took a look. Next week should be promising though.

Your socks are adorable and I wish you good karma unpacking in the coming week.
Thank you Susan
They’re great! You are such a fast knitter, I’m in awe.
Those are some handsome socks, Mardel. How satisfying to have them both done and to be able to wear them!
Those socks are adorable! Reminds me about something the sales assistant at the Laura Mercier counter said to me the other day about my eyebrows: “they don’t have to be twins, they just have to be sisters.”
Rubiatonta, I was rather late to the joy of a sock drawer filled with hand knit socks, but now I cant do without. I was thinking of you recently as G and I were reminiscing about various trips to Madrid, ancient history now (mostly in the 1990s)
Sisty, I love that comment! I will have to remember it. The socks are definitely sisters. I think sisterhood is much more to my liking than strict duplication.
I never worry about matching Silk Garden socks either — you can tell they’re closely related and that’s good enough for me.
I’m hoping to get a pair of socks started soon to take along as airplane knitting — nothing better suited, really.
mater, i agree about airplane knitting and socks. simple, portable relaxing and small
