Finished Project: BFF Socks

I finally finished these socks! It took me nearly 3 months, but I also knit a sweater and a half in that time. I really love the end result though and I think these socks will get lots of use.

The pattern is the BFF Socks by Cookie A. from her new book knit.sock.love (and published elsewhere as well). The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy and I just love the deep raspberry.

I will have a new pair of socks on the needles by the end of the weekend!

My New Sock Blockers

So I finished my brother's Christmas socks, yay! One of the toes was way pointier than the other, but I figured with good blocking it would be fine.

I had heard talk of "sock forms" for blocking socks, but failed to locate them in any stores, but KnitPicks had them!


This is the large size for my brother's giant feet. I also got the medium size which looks perfect for women's socks.

I will take better photos of the socks themselves when they are dry and blocked, but I was so excited about the forms, they made the whole blocking process a snap!
