The humble sock is probably my favourite thing to knit – they are simple, useful and relatively quick to make. Socks are portable; you only need to haul one skein around. You can make them with subtle yarns or outlandish ones. They can be as complicated or as simple as you like.

This sock is as absolutely plain as you can get – 56 stitch stockinette, 7.5 spi. It’s made with my own ACME Hand-Dyed Medium Superwash in the Temagami Spring colourway. The base yarn is Louet GEMS Fingering. I’m crazy in love with this base yarn – so smooth, so soft, so shmooshy. Modesty should probably forbid me from raving on about it… but I can’t help myself. You don’t have to buy my yarn – just grab yourself a skein next time you’re in your LYS, it’s widely available.
Such an easy yarn to love.

Nice yarn! And yeah, I know about the poor timing to launch a fibre shop….
I should upgrade to intrepid ibex – it’s been out for ages! Rhythm box randomly crashes on DH’s machine. Drives me nuts cos I am home and the music randomly stops, interrupts my groove!
