I finally got started on my first pair of scrappy socks and I'm loving how they are turning out. It is such fun not knowing how the next small tidbit of yarn will work up. Can't wait to finish this sock and begin it's partner. Since I am a big fan of scrap quilts, this is right up my alley. This might turn into an addiction similar to fabric scraps, which has gotten out of control in my sewing room. If this happens, just know Carol F that I will have to contact you to see if you have a cure. lol
Sorry this picture is laying on it's side. I. couldn't figure out how to rotate the picture within blogger after it was on the blog post.

That's a very cute sock! Don't you just love using up leftover sock yarn?
ReplyDeleteTeehee, glad you told us the picture is sideways because I thought that's a mighty big foot! What fun to use up scrap yarn. I assume you have to use all the same weight.
ReplyDeleteThat's an adorable sock Dar!!! I don't have enough yarn scraps in sock weight yet, but this is definitely a future project for me :*)
ReplyDeleteUh oh! I see a new monster being created! Actually, I think it is a great idea to use up yarn like that! I am still waiting for a pair (ahem)!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are looking good... I like that slip stitch variation... it is a nice design element. I warned you that scrap socks were addictive...LOL...just like scrap quilts... but so much fun!! happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I need more solid scraps.
ReplyDeleteGonna be a cute sock.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! How'd you do the yellow and orange rows or was it the yarn?
ReplyDeleteLove these Dar! What is the pattern please?
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors! It would be hard not to smile while knitting that sock, the colors just say "happy".
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And I didn't even realize it was on its side 😉
ReplyDeleteVery neat! And thrifty of you! I love the look but I bet stitching the ends back into the knitting is a pain in the tush. Worth the effort though!
ReplyDeleteI am starting to get a collection of small balls...left over sock yarn. Eventually I will have to knit my own pair of patchwork socks! They look fun.
