February Socks....

Thuja from Knitty.com. This is my 2nd time knitting this pattern. I like the way these turned out better than the first pair...which was only my second pair of socks at the time.


STR thujas
STR Jingle Bell Rock Heavyweight 350 yds. After knitting the Thuja's on US 5's; even though the original pattern calls for US 6's. It looks and feels good. The yarn is soft, yet firm, hard to explain. I do like it and have what you see below leftover....That is a lot...

STR leftovers
Maybe some ankle socks, that way when it gets too hot this summer, I'll have my little ankle socks out of leftovers to use for work!

Since I have a few socks on the needles (eek! 2 pairs and 2 to cast on for March's KAL's) March Sock Madness may be happening as I'd like to have all 4 pairs done....and a sweater...and so on and so on!

Great socks! The way STR feels is hard to put into words, but I really like it.

Your vest turned out fantastic and I love it with your shirt tails out like that. Cutie!
Now that's the yarn I need to use to make my husband's next pair of socks in, heavy weight STR.
