#selfstripe

Hooray for finished socks. They have been languishing as WIPs for far too long and all it took was a little time to myself to pop the afterthought heels in. I know I should wash and block them but I'm being a rebel and I really want to wear them today. On the outside I will be a sensible and smartly attired scientist. On the inside a Star Wars resistance fighter and rebel. Perfect for a Monday morning. May the Force be with you. #knitstagram #knitlove #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #yarnlovechallenge #collectivelycreate #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #handknitsocks #neverenoughsocks #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #toeupsocks #toeupsocksrock #stripysocks #selfstripe #louisetilbrookdesigns #muststashyarn

This photo sums up everything that makes me happy right now. A self stripe sock in colours that remind me of summer ice cream and beach huts. Strawberries, hot coffee and sunshine... ... and the kids out of earshot but still within view. #knittinginpublic #placesyoucanknit #sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #sockknittersofinstagram #yarnporn #yarnlove #neverenoughsocks #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #knitting #knitaddict #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #westyorkshirespinners #yarnshopday #selfcare #selfstripe (at The Common, Saffron Walden)

It's been far too long since I did a #toeuptuesday post but I am thrilled that my sock mojo has returned. At the weekend I came across this WIP, started the weekend that DH had his surgery. I sat down to work a few rows and fell in love all over again with the magic of these bold, irregular stripes. This is the first yarn I've used from @muststashsheep - it is the Han Solo colourway if memory serves - and it certainly won't be the last. Just a few rounds of the cuff to do and then I can get it's partner cast on. No second sock syndrome here today.
