GALAXY SOCKS
Pattern: my own basic, 64 stitch stockinette, short row heel
Yarn: Regia Galaxy, colorway 1550, Jupiter Nature
Needles: size 2 DPN
Time to knit: 10 days! This is some kind of record for me!
I knit one sock from the outside of the skein, and the 2nd sock pulling from the inside of the skien, so the swirls would swirl in opposite directions. Pretty tricky, huh? Yeah… I totally have to thank Kaity for that idea, I never would have thought of it on my own, or known it would work. That Kaity, she’s good to have around :o)
Whew… now I have my April socks out of the way… no need to fear owing Kaity any sock yarn this month! I’m waiting for some silk/wool sock yarn from KnitPicks that I want Kaity to dye for my May socks.
In the meantime I’ve cast on (casted on? I can never decide) for a new project…. more on that next post, when I have more to show. I should get a good bit of knitting done tonight during Survivor and The Office. Yea for Thursday Night TV!

Those are really pretty! I appreciate learning Kaity’s tip about knitting from each end of the skein. I never would have thought of that, either.
Layla’s looking adorable, as always. 😉
Very nice! BTW – I have the same Crocs… aren’t they comfortable!
Nice socks! That color pattern is really neat.
Those look great with your crocs!
You know, I wonder if anyone owns multiple croc colors so that shoes and socks can always be coordinated?
Very nice! I like the Crocs too 🙂
The socks look great & what a good idea to have the colors going the opposite way. I have to remember this trick.
Cute socks! I really like Kaity’s tip, too.
Pretty darn clever. I love that the swirls match. Nice!!
