Inside Out Socks

With the big shawl done, I had a chance to finish up my February Sock kit socks from the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin Socks Club. The pattern was interesting. I hadn't ever worked reversible cables before. They're not identical on each side, but are equally attractive.



The one on the top is "right side" out, while the lower one is "inside out". They're made with Socks that Rock Mediumweight at a very tight gauge. I used up very nearly the entire hank.

Anyway, I like trying the patterns with the yarns they sent, but seriously this isn't a great match. The colorway is entirely too busy for the cabling and doesn't look very good. It would work much better on a solid or near solid.

Now I think I'll finish up a pair of socks that's been sitting around nearly done for 6 months or so. They're bright and cheerful, in a red/yellow colorway from Artyarns I think.

I agree with you that the pattern and colorway was not the best match. But the pattern did look fun. I have saved and may try on different yarn. This colorway really looked great in just plain ol stockinet. P.S. I also agree with you about the magical part with the eggs the melting was my favorite part.
