Finished Dragon Dance Socks!

march 11 006


I finished my Dragon Dance Socks and I am so happy with them! It was my first time knitting with Blue Moon Fiber Arts Lightweight Socks that Rock and it was such a joy.

I knit these from the toe up, on size 2.25mm double pointed needles. I did a garter stitch cuff on top to show off the colors in a different way.

The colorway is an exclusive color right now for the Rockin' Sock Club. I was a member last year too and this color is my favorite yet. It's sort of retro 70's in a way. The striping was so lucky. I made sure to do a short row heel rather than a gusset heel to make sure not to break up the stripes.

People always used to ask me about my shoes so I'll say that they are Calvin Klein and you can get them online here. They are comfortable and they show off my handknit socks! I bought them right before my knee surgery because I wanted cute flats that I can wear for a few months while I recover. They are sure doing their job!

...and so are these socks!

ETA: I wanted to add a photo of the awesome STR yarn I used for these socks:
