FO: enter-stage right-parakeet

honey

they’ve been done for eons now. maybe not eons… but i honestly can’t remember when i finished them, which means it was probably at least a month ago? thanks to caitlin for lending me her feetsies for models.

vintage

FO: enter-stage right-parakeet <– ravelry project page
why the name? i honestly couldn’t tell you.

pattern: garter rib socks from sensational knitted socks (i own tooooo many sock patterns. they are totally my weakness. i own scads and scads of them. every time i think ‘no, i can’t buy any more sock books, surely i have enough for one lifetime,’ i find two more sock books i’m pretty certain i can’t live without. it’s a strange illness to have.)
yarn: some lovely bright koigu kppm that was a christmas present from me gram.
needles: US size 2 (2.75 mm)

My creation

the only mods i made were to keep doing the garter rib down the heel flap. although i’m not sure what counts as a mod for this pattern book, as everything is customizable. i think it was nikkinimble who extolled the virtues of this book, and if anyone can inspire me to knit socks, it’s her.
