Rainforest Socks



Pattern: Rainforest
: US 1½ / 2.5 mm
Yarn: Pagewood Farm Chugiak Hand Dyed Sock Yarn - Rainbow
1 skeins = 450.0 yards (411.5m)

This is the nicest sock yarn that I've ever used. It was a dream to knit with and I love the colors. I bought this at Ewe and Me in Sandwich, Illinois on my yarn crawl in the spring. Don't these socks look like rainbows instead of a rainforest? The pattern was lots of fun to knit and I think its cool how the ribbing ended up on the heel. I actually knit these cuff down one at a time, and you know that is my least favorite way but I truly did enjoy making these socks. Thanks goes to Sockamania for the pattern!

Honestly I think your yarn & color choice for the socks is the best I've seen! I wanna go yarn crawling. Maybe I'll ask Dh for that for Christmas, he'd be like "what?!" lol
