Last night I took N to his last lacrosse skills class. I’m going to miss being indoors in a nice warm sports center. Next week they start practice- outside! Brrrr! I made good use of my free knitting time by finishing the socks that have been on the needles for a while. The pattern is Groovy Socks by Caroline Hegwer. The yarn is Knit Picks Felici in Time Traveler. I really enjoyed knitting these socks. The pattern was well written and easy to follow. Sadly it appears to no longer be available. I will knit these again. The yarn is very nice. I have a wee bit of an addiction to self striping sock yarn. I love to watch the colors change.
Now that the sock needles are empty I guess I’ll have to cast on something. Yay!!!
Karen, I can post if the WP blog is opened up in my browser. I just can’t from the Reader. Do you have the same issue on your end?
Anywho, to officially comment on this post, I like these socks. I remember when Knit Picks sold Time Traveler. Do they still sell it? I like how your stitch pattern shows up well with this self-striping yarn.

I use the app on my phone and have no problem commenting through reader.
Knit Picks recently had a clearance sale on all the Felici. Hopefully they’ll restock it again since it really is a great yarn.

I like the socks. I’m actually wearing socks in the same colorway right now. You obviously have excellent taste.

You are a sockaholic! 😆 I only knit one sock pattern, I may have to consider expanding my repertoire!

Why can’t KnitPicks make Felici permanent? I love self-striping yarns too, I think they keep plain sock patterns interesting for me! I really like this colorway; it seems to be a bit Dr. Who-inspired to me. If they restock I’ll make a pair for a Whovian friend of mine for sure!

Okay, now those socks are finished! I really like how that yarn works with that pattern. What did you decide to cast on next?
