Day 80: Stung

I started a new pair of socks today (which means my previous socks are blocking and a FO report should appear in a couple of days). These are for my husband. I love him dearly, but I really don’t like this colourway… actually I just have issues with yellow, but that’s not really his fault. What do I expect with a colourway named wasp?

This is the progress after I had ripped them out for the 4th time:

They are actually coming along nicely now, and they are creating a kind of spiraling effect on the leg… at least this is what is happening on the first sock.

I’ll add pattern details when there is actually enough knitting to see there is really a pattern, but I’m hoping to get these done for the end of the month so they can be included in the Project Spectrum fire category.

Meanwhile, I’ve already planned out the next two socks for Earth which will start on April 1st. One pair for me, one pair for the boy. There is also at least one jumper project planned out. :)
