Socks

 In the last few months I've been on a real sock knitting kick.

Fuelled by a large collection of sock yarn asking me to do something with it...

...and the ongoing appeal of the original 52 Weeks of Socks.

That being said I have found myself suffering from a feeling of sock burn out over the last couple of weeks, with not much enthusiasm to start my next pair.  Luckily my knit-jo had not completely disappeared and my hat and jumper projects kept on getting love.

And then yesterday...

...it reappeared due to the perfect combo of yarn (a merino cashmere nylon mix) and pattern ( mini cables for interest). Hopefully it sticks around considering the amount of single hanks of sock yarn I have!
