Yes, I’m still around. Pepper keeps us busy.
I managed to knit these Weekend Shorty Socks rather quickly (in my opinion) probably because they had such short cuffs and no leg to knit.
I loved using up some odds and ends of sock yarn to make this almost matching pair. The pattern calls for six different colors plus a basic for the foot for each sock. I used the same colors for the pair and changed the solid area on one cuff for narrower stripes.
All yarn is Knit Picks Stroll. Other than the white aka “bare”, the rest are from partial balls of yarn: Dusk (blue), Scarlet, Rouge (pink), Ash (grey), and Peapod (green).
I knit the Eye of Partridge heel flap as I like the texture and mostly because I think it looks and wears fantastically.
My only complaint (and it’s my own fault) is that the socks are just a tad too small/short for my feet. Yes, I could rip out the toe and add a few more rows but I have two granddaughters with smaller feet that might wear them. Of course, I’d have to knit another pair. Or I could give them to my one sister-in-law who has smaller feet.
