FO Friday: Mutatis Mutanois Socks

My shortie Mutatis Mutanois Socks are finally a FO!

Pattern: Toe Up Vanilla Sock over 68 stitches with gusset heel

Yarn: Nerd Girl Yarns Bounce and Stomp in the Mutatis Mutanois colorway

Needle: US 1 9 inch circ

I usually have pretty good sock mojo, but something about these just made them drag on and on for me. A feeling that ultimately made me make then into shorties. I found that decision very freeing and satisfying!

I used 203 yards or 50 grams of the yarn. So I have a pretty generous amount of leftovers to use on another project. I could have stood to make the ribbing a tid bit longer. As they sit now they are more like a no-show sock than an anklet. I can’t decide if that bothers me or not. But I guess if it annoys me I can always undo the bind-off and knit more with the leftovers!

P.S. These puppies scored me 21 points in the Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party KAL ❤

Happy Knitting!!

Mutatis Mutanois Sock Update

Since I finished my Rainbow Brite Vanilla Socks the Mutatis Mutanois socks have been upgraded to purse knitting.

I’m working on the foot of sock one. The yarn is amazing and part of my 2016 Sock Yarn Experiment. The fabric I’m getting on the US1s isn’t as tight as usual but not so loose that it won’t fit. It will be interesting to see if these wear out faster. This is just a 68 st toe up vanilla sock with gusset heel.

Happy Knitting!
