I started a new pair of socks after finishing Audrey’s slipper socks. I’m making vanilla socks in Yarn Geek Fibers Super Geek in the Rainbow Dashing colorway. They might be my new favorite socks.
Instead of doing the reasonable thing and picking up the shawl I should be taking out of hibernation, I started a Northeasterly. I’ve made a few changes to the pattern as written. I don’t need another sock yarn blanket, so I’ve decided to knit the blanket in worsted weight. I have so many worsted scraps, so this will be a fun way to use them up. I’m knitting the blanket with size four needles, as I had a pair of size four needles out when I cast on. If I had taken more than 30 seconds to think about it I probably would have found a pair of size 6 needles instead. I do like the thick fabric though, so I’m sticking with 4s.
I do think it’s time for me to pull my everyday shawl out of hibernation and get to work on it. Maybe I’ll find the motivation to do that this week.
Love the colors of that sock yarn! And of course the sock it looking great as well 🙂 Good plan to have a nice warm blanket and use up your worsted weight scraps!

Have you knit with Yarn Geek before? She has soft yarn that is good to work with in beautiful colors.
