Fortissima Socka Cotton Color Socks

A pair of socks is done. I think I started the socks in early April. It's really good to have a completed project!

The yarn is Fortissima Socka Cotton Color, 6523. I like the greens (there are two shades of green in the yarn), but I hate the ochre and patchy blue part! Then why did I buy it? I wanted cotton blended sock yarn and the yarn shop didn't have many choices. I usually go to yarn shops when I'm desperate for something new, and the desperation makes me compromise on what I buy... I should plan better, or... should I visit LYS more often?

Anyway, fortunately the socks are very comfortable to wear, so I think I'll use them.

Your new socks look so comfy! I have tendency to buy colourway yarn when I shop at LYS, then I don't like much after I knit it.

I love the socks & love how you're wearing them!

Mimi, isn't it strange?? I think yarn deludes people's mind...

Del, thanks! I think Birks and hand knitted socks go well together. :-)
