Self striping yarn is fast. Sport weight socks are fast. Self striping sport weight socks? Crazy fast. I cast on the second sock yesterday and finished it just after lunch today. This is my first yarn from the Knit Spin Farm little known holidays yarn club. This is the January, 2021 colorway International Tongue Twister Contest Day. It has thick stripes of Yellow Lorry, Purple Pater People, and Very Vivacious Violet, twisted together at the transitions. The yarn is 90% Targhee, 10% Nylon for 100% my favorite sock blend. I switched to fingering weight for next month, but if these socks are as cozy as I think they are I’ll be switching back to sport weight soon.
They do look so pretty and so cooshy!

These look great! I need to find some self-striping sport weight yarn now! Working from home calls for thicker socks, I think, since they don’t need to fit into work shoes. Will you be excited when you’re able to wear two socks again?

I’m now obsessed with sport weight socks. I can wear two socks now that I’m back in the boot. Now I need to be able to see both socks.

You should get some! Knit Spin Farm is in Ohio, so you would be supporting a local business.

Lovely socks and self striping yarn sounds better than manually striping yarn!
