The socks look great and I love the pattern.
My next pair of socks will be from this yarn, Regia is one of my favorites. I will get them started later today. I’m still looking for a pattern. But they will be toe up and FLK heel for sure. Thinking they look a little patriotic, and hopefully enough BLUE!
@Char - I’m getting ready to wind some yarn for socks. Can I get advance notice of what May’s color will be?
Clown Barf! it will be wild and crazy sock month. No specific pattern, just craziness.
Of course you can always knit whatever color and socks you want.
Ooh I love the colours .
I started another pair of short cuts. This pattern is “A Cup of Tea” and the yarn is Hikoo CoBaSi.
I started another pair today. This is one of a matching set for my Daughter and Son-in-Law in New Zealand. Their favorite is a plain 2x2 rib. As we come into Spring, they are coming into Autumn, and cooler weather. They are very knit-worthy
I’m getting ready for May. I have these pretty mini skeins that Kathy7661 included with my prize. I have enough for some short cut socks. The question is - how should I use them? I have 19 gms of the multi, 18 gms of green and 8 of blue. Any ideas? Anyone know the breakdown of how many grams it takes typically to do a cuff, heel flap and toes? Not a total number but a breakdown of the three parts.
Have you ever done a helix style sock?
I really love those colors!
I’ve never done Helix knitting but I just went and looked it up. It sounds fun to try but I think I would need more equal amounts of the colors. I’m guessing 8 grams of the blue would be a problem.
Cuffs, heels and toes in the blue (or whatever you can), helix the other two?
I don’t think 8 grams is enough for cuff, heels and toes. I have 13 gms in my head but I don’t know if that’s per sock or pair. Either way I don’t have enough.
Stripes somewhere? That’s what I do with hats.
I just started this pair of socks tonight. Toe up with Fish Lips Kiss heels and a simple 3x2 lacy rib. Summer shorties

Sock making machine!!!
I hoping to get four pair finished this month. This is #3.
These look great, I’ve never tried that heel before, it needs to go on my list.
I’m using the Sweet Tomato Heel on socks now and prefer it to a heel flap and gusset.
