I finished the Wyvern socks today at the dentist’s office. This was a great pattern to knit up. The back of the socks are done in K2P2 ribbing so they really fit well. I might modify some other patterns and just keep the back of the sock in ribbing so that they have that extra grab in the back. Slouchy socks are just not my thing.
Here’s the detail of the stitch pattern. I like how subtle it is and how it shows off the variegation in the yarn’s colors. I really appreciate a pattern that can show off a beautiful yarn and keep me interested.
Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions on where to buy more KPPM online. I’ve been browsing and drooling. I’m generally indecisive as to what colour I want to get next, but it will most likely be something in green. I’m also debating on whether or not I want to get more KPPM or if I want to try some Socks That Rock or even some Lisa Souza yarn.
In other news, I have picked up Flirty Ruffles again. Thanks to my trusty row counter and highlighter tape, I was able to find where I had left off without a fuss.
Next up, Gentleman Socks in Trekking 109.

Love the socks! I highly recommend Socks That Rock. Their colorways are gorgeous, and you will love knitting with it. I’ve also ordered from Liza Sousa, and her yarn is sooooo soft. Don’t forget Lorna’s Laces sock yarn if you haven’t used that yet. Yummmmm! Yes, I spend a lot of time researching yarn on the internet. Yes, I also order way too much. But I love to read your blog. You are an amazingly skilled and rapid knitter. Keep up the awesome work.
