My traveling knitting

The last few weeks I've been working on this years sock stash. I've finished four pair of socks that will probably keep my handmade sock assortment intact for another year. In fact, I threw the last store bought socks (except athletic) away.  I bought the yarnand planned to take it all with me on vacation. There was enough yarn for three pair, sure that would certainly suffice, especially when I'm the one that has said loud and clear at the yarn shop, "You might as well knit a sweater for as much work as a pair of socks are." I used the “No Pattern Socks” from The Knit Girllls. But from the top down this time. I love this pattern because it is so easy and since I was traveling I didn’t want to have anything unnecessary - like a pattern- with me. As I finished the first pair I realized I'd bought themed yarn! I present to you my vacation in socks... HAWAII Sand Socks: Pattern: "No Pattern Socks" Yarn: Paton Stretch Sock Yarn, 41% cot
