2016 Sock Finish Number 4

Keeping a blog has many advantages. 

I needed to find a photo of Beatles from last year and I knew I'd posted one around St. Patrick's Day.

While I was back blogging, (?) I found that I had knit 4 pair of socks at this same point last year. 

I distinctly remember being tired of them after that, for just a bit. 

I just finished my fourth pair of socks for 2016. 

See?

The yarn is ThreeIrishGirls sock yarn in a colorway I can't recall.

The yarn was gifted me and I have only the best things to say about it. 

So many of you answered my Monday meme and suggested sock yarns I had never tried.  I cant wait to make a list and get my hands on some of your favorites. 

Some of the yarns I will try thanks to you:
Sprout
Zen garden Serenity
Sock dream by Periwinkle Shepard
and Knitpicks Hawthorn. 

I haven't tired of socks at all yet this year.

I've just cast on my next pair. 

Oh and to explain further about the round after you pick up gusset stitches. 
Credit to the amazing Yarn Harlot, she taught me this in her book.
On the first round after you pick up your gusset stitches and rearrange all the stitches correctly, 
when You get to just those gusset stitches, 
knit them through the BACK loop.
Doing this keeps the HOLEY business in check.
Just do that once on that first round on just those stitches and you'll love the look. 

Happy Knitting!
