For my August cast on I decided to skip what I planned to knit and start a pair of vanilla socks instead. My brain can only handle vanilla socks at the moment. I’m knitting Knit Spin Farm socks and I am head over heels in love with this base. I’ll be stalking her updates from now on and hope to get a lot more of her yarn.
What is your go to mindless knit?
Beautiful yarn!! It just screams to be vanilla socks:)
When I need mindless socks are my go to. Something bright and fun:)

Baby sweaters are mostly mindless for me.

My Clover Shorties, sock WIP is some good mindless knitting for moi. I do need to start the second sleeve of my nephew’s cardigan though tonight.

I will check out her yarn. I did find Halloween yarn at TurtlePurl’s Etsy shop. I can only handle mindless knitting these days too. Anything stockinette in the round or garter stitch flat that is DK or worsted. That’s my sweet spot.

Love that sock yarn! Except for the toes and heels, socks are my favorite mindless knitting. I mostly just do vanilla ones, so it’s all just straight stockinette!

That’s pretty yarn, what is the base? If I need really mindless then I’ll go for a crochet blanket, slightly mindless is knitted basic socks.

Thank you. The base is 90% Targhee 10% Nylon. I’ve never knit with Targhee before, but I love it.

I’ve not heard of that before. Sounds like it would be a good, green alternative to merino though (from my little googling).
