I knit these cozy socks for my SIL. She’s like a sister to me and she loves the pink.
They arrived safely and they fit…squeee! This pattern is perfect for any variegated yarn you love but haven’t been able to match to a pattern. Some of the other projects are really striking and the pattern is written for a variety of gauges.
A kid that appreciates knit socks. I could not love him more.
Pattern:
Marooned by Hunter Hammersen
Yarn: Hill Country Yarns Instant Gratification Sock Yarn (this is a sport weight)
Colorway: Bubble Gum
Needles: 2.5mm circs.

So. I may have read one too many blogs on how you don’t want to jack up a nice knitting project with crappy finishing. I ripped the collar off this pretty cream sweater. Then I re-picked up the stitches and started again. Second time’s the charm. I’m MUCH happier. I only paused before ripping because I was worried it would look worse when I picked them up a second time. My fears were in vain.
After I picked up the stitches for the front of the collar, I tried to match the ribbing to the cables by varying the number of stitches in the ribbing as the pattern instructed, but that was a hot mess. I went back to K2P2.
Soon, this puppy will have sleeves and then off it goes to Turtle’s house for Baby 2. He’s going to loan it to his big brother first. That’s right, it’s a hand-me-up.

![Years ago, I met someone at work. The conversation went something like this.
Me: We should be friends. Want to go to a hockey game TONIGHT?!?
Her: Yes?
I think she said yes because she was a little scared to say no. Coming in hot is pretty on brand for me.
She recently observed that in my romance shorts, my couples meet, connect, and immediately decide they are soulmates before living happily ever after.
And she was all “Wait, that’s kind of fast…but that is how Katie rolls.”
Thanks for getting me, @scottiegirly !
I hope you’re having the Friday you need, Crew! It’s a good day to check out Standing Together (standing-together.org) if you’re not familiar with them. I love you!!!
