I want my handknit socks like this:

Lovely, lightweight yarn, neutral colour, snug fit and nice pattern. I made the bottom in plain stockinette stitch instead of lace - these aren’t actually going to be lacy summer socks.

Confessions of a yarn shopper (again). For the Socktoberfest, only *clears throat*…

…a small package was waiting for me in the local post office one day. It revealed something wrapped in candy coloured tissue paper…

…inside of that something blue…

…and something gray.

Yep, these are my very first Koigus. I’m so exited!
