Cast On: Prism Socks

Spring germs are REAL in this house and it’s knocked us all down for a minute. I had meant to get my next self striping socks on the needles after finishing my leftover advent socks, but that stalled.

I took my project to where I knew I would be a captive audience….literally. The hubs and I had tickets to see Brett Goldstein (of Ted Lasso fame) do standup. So I brought my yarn and needles and got to knitting during the pre-show and the ride home. Brett was amazingly funny, btw!

This yarn is the Inertia base from String Theory Colorworks and in the Prism color. So it will be a very vibrant rainbow with mini stripes of charcoal in-between. I am constructing my standard 68 stitch toe up tube with afterthought heel on US 1s. And I plan to work them in tandem so as to avoid second sock syndrome.

I wish I could find my metal US1s but the wooden ones will do for now. I can always switch later. I think these will be my backpack project or car console project since they fit nicely into a zipper pouch.
