Feb STR Club Socks Done!!!

I am really excited and pleased to have these socks finished and on my feet.  They really feel so good!  To see a picture (and not spoil it for others) you can click on the following link: Inside Out Socks in colorway “Monsoon”

A little info:

pattern: Inside Out by Kaci Kyler Hays (exclusive to STR Club)

yarn: Socks That Rock mediumweight colorway: Monsoon

needles: Inox greys 2.0mm, 2.25mm, and 2.5mm 29″ circulars (also 40″ 2.5mm Inox Express used on the leg) 

some details: I started with 2.5mm on the toe and then moved to the 2.0mm for the foot.  I changed to the 2.25mm for the heel and used the 2.5mm on the leg. 

comments:

I love the pooling on the foot and the change to smaller stripes on the leg. 

I love the cushy-ness of the toe and heel and definitely think I will use this toe again, if not the heel, too.  This has re-opened my eyes to shortrow heels.  I had pretty much decided that they didn’t work for my foot, but I think that when it is paired with the ribbing in the foot it fits just fine!

I really like the ribbing all the way around the foot and have already incorporated a version of this into another pair of socks on the needles. 

I prefer the “inside” or wrong side to the “outside” of the sock.

All in all, a very good experience.  I joined this club in order to expand my sock horizons trying both new yarns (even ones I wouldn’t pick for myself) and new patterns (especially ones I wouldn’t pick).  I look forward to the April Kit!!
