Jakson's Tweed Socks-Finished!

Hi friends!

I finally finished Jakson's Tweed Socks! 

These guys took forever! I was a little distracted by a few super top secret projects I've been working on. I also suffered from a bout of Second Sock Syndrome which made it tough to get sock #2 off the needles. I've since solved this problem by getting myself a new set of circular needles for Magic Loop Two at a Time Socks. (As long as my cat doesn't eat these ones too, I'll be good to go!)
​

The pattern I used was Nice Ribbed Socks by Glenna C. on Ravelry. (You can read more about the pattern details in my previous sock post.) 

The yarn is KnitPicks Stroll Tweed in Garnet Heather. The Fingering weight yarn is 65% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon and 10% Donegal Tweed. In my opinion, socks knitted in Stroll seem to turn out a little floppy, when using this yarn I try to incorporate ribbing, use smaller needles or add a few rows of elastic thread inside the cuff to keep them nice and snug. (When in doubt just do ribbing for the entire sock! Problem solved!)

They are a little large on my model but these socks are intended for slightly larger tootsies. 

I'm glad they're all done and I'm excited to see them shipped off to their forever home!

I've got some updates coming up on a new sweater project! Plus I have two secret projects I'm hoping to share with you sooner than later (really fun stuff, guys!) 

Keep tuning in more exciting adventures in knitting! 

Thanks for reading!
