Rain or Shine Socks

Rain or Shine Socks

The Rain or Shine Socks are here! I'm so excited to introduce you to my venture into sock knitting with a project that is the perfect stash buster for your leftover bits of fingering weight sock yarn. I haven’t knit socks in years, but I discovered the secret key to finishing socks is to use lots of colors so you never get bored. Also, cast on the second sock as soon as you finish the first sock!

The pattern is inspired by dewy, misty mornings when the sun is just beginning to rise and each slip stitch is like a droplet of glistening rain. These are my scrappy morning socks to wear in the morning while I knit with my pups at home, staring at my woolly colorful feet. The socks are a beginner friendly project as you only have to work with one color at a time, so you can get creative and play with color combinations whilst you knit - will you go for a subtle fade or contrasting color pops? The length of the sock is customizable by knitting more or fewer stripes which means you can knit the perfect fit and style to suit you. I think I’m a Sock Knitter now and it feels so good! What other Westknits socks do you want to see from me?
