These are the socks that I've had sitting at my desk at work. When the calls and projects were slow I'd work on these and they were perfect for picking up and putting down at a moment's notice. The yarn is Lana's yarn, the one she's using to make her Clapotis and the one that inspired me. To be honest, I can only remember that the yarn brand is Sinfonia and that it's 100% cotton. Beyond that, I know that the color changes kept my attention and it was a quick knit on size 3 needles.
Details: Pattern: Generic cuff down 3x1 rib with round toe Yarn: Sinfonia, 100% cotton Needles: Size 3US dpns, Takumi Date Started: I have no clue, but probably about 5 weeks ago. Date Finished: June 29, 2006It is very fitting that on a day I finished a project that a KnitPicks order arrives with just a little more yarn to replace it. 2 skeins of Sinfonia out of the stash... 10 skeins of Shine Worsted go back in. I'll be using this Green Apple yarn to make a summer top for myself. I think the green is so cheery, though it's hard to see in the fading light of this picture.
I also purchased a pair of their KnitPicks dpns in a size 1 to see how I like them. Lana was sweet enough to give me a brand new set of Susan Bates size 1 dpns that she had never used and I can't wait to compare the two! I guess that means I'll be casting on for more socks!

Gorgeous socks:)
LOL I do the same... I have always a sock on the go that is knitted on when the system has a breakdown. It has become a point of hilarity in the office that as soon as I pick up the sock the system will get unstuck hahaha
Your KSKS pal
Great looking pair of socks! Love that color of green. Can hardly wait to see what you do with it:D
I can't wait to see how you like the dpns. I have some on the way and I can't wait.
Very cute socks, I'll have to look for Sinfonia since I hadn't heard of that one before. I will be waiting to see how you like the KP DPNs, I like a shorter DPN for knitting socks and sounds like these may be the ones.
love your socks! and a green top will be awesome for the warm summer months :)
Cute socks! Do you have a pattern for the knitpicks yarn yet? The socks and the new yarn look like candy!
This yarn is really nice! I bet it made up something really nice!!
Your socks look great! I love the colors. I bet that yarn will make a very yummy summer top. Can't wait to see what you knit. ;-)
