It’s full on summer here in Kansas so seems like a perfect time to get my Soft Serve Sock Snake socks completely off my needles!
I managed to get two pair of ankle socks out of two 50 gram skeins of Knit Picks Felici (with the help of some contrasting heel/toe/cuff yarn) in the soft serve color way. The snake tubes were cranked over 72 stitches. The top pair is for my sister’s birthday and they fully coordinating. I had to get a little more creative and go sort of franken-sock with the second pair.
My leftover tubes weren’t equal so I had to use scraps to extend the toe of one sock. And then I didn’t have enough speckled contrast yarn to do more than the cuffs. So I pulled out some Cascade Heritage sock yarn to do the toes and heels. I think this makes them superbly unique and a great addition to my sock drawer.
With the socks tubes I finished two pairs of socks in like two weeks with only half-monogamously working on them. You certainly can’t beat that!
Happy knitting!!

Both pairs are unique. And only you (and now all of us) know the story behind the second pair though the added yarn coordinates well…just as if you planned it that way. Great work!
Love your socks and your ingenuity. This is the time of year for ankle socks.
Love your socks. You did a wonderful job with a make do attitude. They look as if it they were meant to be worked just as you’ve done them..
you keep inspiring me to get back to sock knitting
Both pairs of socks look great! And you’re right – that method really does make the process go quickly!
