Today’s blog post is about some of my favorite socks included in this year’s GAL. Still don’t know what I’m talking about? Check yesterday’s post<\/a>, I explained it all there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first pattern that stopped me in my tracks while I looked through all things for feet in the sale bundle was Golden Ticket by Lisa K. Ross<\/a>. Aren’t they stylish and elegant? I think I need these in my life <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lazy Weekend\u00a0 Socks<\/a> by Brenda Castiel are perfectly named – they not only look perfect for a lazy weekend, they could probably also be made in a lazy weekend. Worsted weight makes socks go so fast!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visser Twist<\/a> by Ren\u00e9e Kies uses mainly knit and purl stitches to create these beautiful, intricate looking socks. Isn’t it awesome what just a little knit and purl (and the cute cable there) can do?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How about some slippers now to keep your feet extra cozy this winter? I love Fisherman’s Fabric<\/a> by 10 hours or less. The pattern comes in three sizes, so your whole family can be warm in style!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you read yesterday’s blog post, you won’t be surprised that I couldn’t walk by something in gray and pink wavey stripes like Sorelle<\/a> by Susanna Winter. Aren’t they beautiful?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you remember this song from the Nineties? Love me, love me, say that you love me. Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me… I was about 18, I think and madly but unlucky in love with T. from my school. Lovefool from The Cardigans was on repeat on my stereo. Funny how just a gorgeous sock named Lovefool<\/a> by knottygnome crafts can bring back those memories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From being unlucky in love – I’m so glad these times are over – back to being happy. Black combined with striking colors like red or orange makes me really happy for some reason, so Happy Hoops<\/a> by Helen Gipson couldn’t be more aptly named for me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is Bend and Fold<\/a> by Clare Devine and I can see them right before my inner eye in some gorgeous light blue making my feet happy <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My Ravelry stash says I have 288 different fingering yarns, but it doesn’t know yet about the yarn I got for my birthday last week… The VAST majority of this is crazy variegated yarn. I love it, I can’t walk past it, but it’s so hard to find nice patterns for it. So I’m always on the lookout for non-vanilla things that work with these yarns, and Palestra<\/a> by Sarah Jordan jumped right into my cart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I saw Braes and Glens<\/a> by Liz Corke on Instagram the other day and was immediately in love. (If you are beginning to see a developing theme here – yes, I love chevron stripes as well!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slip Slide Splash Socks<\/a> by Megan Williams have been inspired by water slides and to me they really scream “FUN” – don’t you think so, too?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cuteness overload – Hedgehog Slippers<\/a> by Alexandria Wenninger. The designer promises they are much cozier than actual hedgehogs, but I was sold by the cute picture already. I need hedgehog slippers in my life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last, but certainly not least – Glaring Socks<\/a> by Settlers Grove Designs. CATS! Stripes! variegated yarn! Have I mentioned CATS!?!<\/p>\n

That’s all for now, my poor Paypal account needs some rest! See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
