The Cherokee Heights Arts Festival is a week away and I’ve finished all of my knits with time to spare. All that’s left is the tagging and finalizing of booth details. In the meantime, I’ve picked back up with holiday knits and have finished two new pairs of socks using my His Simple Socks pattern. So easy to keep count! The top pair features Shibui Sock in kelp and the bottom is Frolicking Feet in Southwest Gem.

I was surprised by the Kelp color striping, but the color variation is really beautiful. I liked that the Southwest Gem was more regular and makes a nice textured stripe. The blue is an eye-popping cyan in the sunlight.

I’ve currently switched over to women’s socks, working with a self-striping violet combo – now I just need to try to line up the stripes as I start the second sock!
