#zigzagular

I’m still determined to make a pair of socks for myself in each month of this year, and I finished my February socks on the 28th of the month. I know I’m a little bit late on posting pictures! I love how these socks turned out, and I’ll probably use this pattern again. I used the Zigzagular sock pattern, but modified them to be toe-up (which also switched the left and right socks).

The yarn was Regia 4-fadig Classic, which Heather got for me at Christmas as a thank you for cat-sitting her cat for a few days. I loved knitting with it, and the colours are just beautiful!

On another note, I got the sock-blockers shown in the first image at a yarn store in Halifax, and I really like them. They are wood and hand-made. However, since they get wet and then dried all the time, the wood is starting to come apart a bit, and they aren’t in the best condition. Does anyone have any ideas how I could stop the degeneration of the sock blockers? Or do I just have to accept it, and get new ones once these get too worn out?

This week I’ve also been reading for fun, even though my schedule says I probably shouldn’t. I used a gift card I had to buy “Brain on Fire” by Susannah Cahalan, and it was amazing. I read the entire book in one day, I really couldn’t put it down. Granted, I am a neuroscience nerd to begin with, but it is written in such a way that you don’t have to be in order to enjoy the book. 10/10 would recommend.
