Due to my recent knitting ennui, I decided just to cast on some vanilla socks to get a jump on next year’s Christmas knitting. I pulled some Cascade Heritage 150 Prints from my stash. This is some self patterning yarn in a mix of brown colors. I think it looks a bit like camo.
This is just a 72 stitch toe-up vanilla sock on size US 1.5 needles. I think I will do a gusset heel as my dad likes the fit of that. It will mess up the self patterning a bit but he’s not fussy about such things.
This is a nice fat yarn that knits up very quickly. I’m already almost done with 9 inches of foot and getting ready for the heel after just a few knitting sessions on this. I was also pleased to use my new Big Bang Theory bag!
Happy Knitting!!

I am using that same yarn, different color for some men’s size 13.5 wide socks, and you are right, it does knit up quickly! So quickly that I may not ever use anything else. Hah!
I’m looking for my sock yarn as I write this
Somehow size 1.5 needles and “nice fat yarn” seems incongruous, but it sure seems that you’re making it work! Camp looks like the right name for the colorway.
Perfect colors for Dad socks. Cute bag, too. Can you tell me the dimensions of it?
7 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep (roughly)
Thanks!
Love the new sock and oh my goodness that bag is awesome
