It’s a sock!
I had a nice relaxing weekend after a stressed out week. I did get some kitting done, though and I actually have a post with photos today!
I mailed out my KTS 2 package:
I also completed a sock in about two days of “lazy knitting” and have the second one already on the needles. It’s the Gentleman’s Fancy Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. I found it to be rather quick and easy. It’s also the best fitting sock I’ve made to date. Edited to add: The yarn I’m using is some of the yarn I bought from eBay seller kbrece which is 100% merino wool - I love how it knits up!
Look at that lonely little purl stitch in the heel:
I really like how it’s turned out and I can’t wait to have the pair to wear. I should have it done by the end of the week :o)

What a pretty sock!! It is lovely! What yarn is it? You should be very proud! I love the colors. I just finished a pair too - but they are too big for me (only a little - but enough). Good for you!
cool sock! I love that book- Knitting Vintage Socks and Gentleman’s Fancy Sock are on my list!
thanks for my awesome package!!! I love it all!
I love your sock! Nice job.
I love these colors…that lonely purl ridge on the heel is also how the Lichen Ribbed Socks pattern is written in Knitting Vintage socks. It’s a neat little detail.
