ONE OF US!

How are you finding it? Easier than expected? Also, respect for doing cables at the same time :D

Easier than expected and fun, although I didn't do the gauge swatch (I know, I know...), so it's going to be a bit tight. I'm really enjoying it! Although I have to put it aside for now to finish some last minute gifts. Aaaaaaaah!

The pattern is Quick Knit Cozy Winter Socks. it's a free Ravelry download. I also fucked it up a bit so the correct version should prob look a bit different, lol.

As long as you do it the same way on both socks, it's just your personal take :D

I love this perspective. It's my interpretation of the original work. A tribute.

We are creatives, after all. If we wanted soullessly perfect socks we could just buy them.

Yay! I think it's coming out awesome, kudos to you for adding cables (I did a simple vanilla sock). Also loving the tiny specks of color here and there through your yarn.

Thank you! The yarn is Patons Shetland Chunky Tweeds in Toasty Tweed. Got it off eBay and pretty happy with it.
