Alex's Latest Knit Crazy-Colored Socks

Alex is forever requesting that I knit him a pair of socks. You probably realize this already, since his legs grace the opening of practically every sock post. He's so spoiled now that he wears a pair of hand knit socks practically every day. (That's thanks in part to his mom also knitting socks for him.)

This latest pair came about by accident. My friend Jo's mom kindly unloaded part of her stash, and Jo brought over a whole bag of yarn for a few of us to go through. I chose my yarn, and after everyone left I found a lonely skein of sock yarn that had fallen off the table.




No one else claimed it when I asked, so I kept it! (Couldn't let such a lovely yarn go to waste.)

Thus was born Alex's latest pair of socks, requested for Christmas but delivered a teensy bit late.

Pattern: Waffle Rib Sock by Carolyn (Jill) Ferneau
Yarn: Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball®Crazy (I think it's color #1537, but not entirely sure)



I've made this same sock pattern several times. It's one of Alex's favorites, but I share the waffle love with all. Here are the other socks I've made with this same pattern:





I'm also really digging the Eye of Partridge heel. It has such a neat texture and makes other heel types look so boring.


When I didn't know what the yarn was, I worked up this tiny little swatch and put it through the washer to see what happened. I love how such a cool yarn can look so inconspicuous when it's worked in such short rounds.

    I LOVE these socks and I would like to make them too. Did you by now find out what colour they are? I checked on the 1537, but, like you, I got a feeling it's a different one... Thank so much for your help

    You've most likely attempted twelve of these as of now, and presumably some worked out and some didn't. Some are presumably too tedious, and you don't have a ton of that available free time. funky socks online
