New Year Socks

My attention span has been pretty laughable lately. I’ve been starting and promptly setting aside projects steadily for weeks now. In keeping with my goal to relax a bit more, I am trying this radical experiment of not caring about it. I’m just going to let them sit for the moment, and soon I will know whether I want to knit or rip, and I’ll pick them back up then.

Thanks to my commute, though, I’ve still managed to finish one little project, my first FO of 2015.

These are just basic top-down stockinette socks with a heel flap. Nothing fancy about the construction, but the yarn is a different story. This is Spun Right Round‘s Snappy Socks in the colorway Graffiti. I love this yarn. I think it looks like funfetti cake. It’s so outside of my normal neutral color palette, in the best way. There’s a lot to be said for bright white and bright colors during dreary New England winter.

And because I can rarely avoid including a Felane photo, here is an outtake of her snooping around my camera. I always forget that if I don’t hold her while I’m taking photos, she can’t stay away from the self timer.
