Peas and carrots

I just love knitting feather and fan socks.  Whenever I see green and orange together it makes me think Peas and Carrots!  This is some Hobbii yarn in a Halloween colorway from last year.  I use size 2 needles to knit the pattern and the switch to size 1 for the heel and foot.

Love this so much!

I am crazy about this colorway. It's supposed to be Halloween but I see Weasley Wizard Wheezies!

Hobbi Halloween scary sock wool. Lot ss-04 col 4 witch party. I'm using the feather and fan sock pattern with a size 2 needle for the pattern.  I'll switch to a size 1 when I get to the heel.

I’ve just started the heel on sock #1. I should have gone up to a size 2 needle (which was my first impulse). The feather and fan pattern seems to really draw the knit fabric in. Also this yarn seems really thin to me. I wonder if it will bloom when I was it? It’s a little splitty but super soft. If the socks feel too tight for me I will either give them to my sister or my friend who gave me the yarn.

GRRRR. I was starting to reduce the gusset stitches when I thought I should try this sock on. Far too tight! So I ripped it completely out this morning on the way to work. I really enjoy this pattern so I should mind the reknit too much. As long as it fits!

These socks were added to my 2025 bingo chart so I alternated working on these with the Girly Girl socks.  I'm not sure when I reknit the lace on the first sock.  These were in serious timeout! Basically I knit the lace portions at home and did the heel and foot on the go.  These were finished on April 18, 2025.
