So let’s talk socks.  Do you realize how long it’s been since I knit a new pair of socks?  I took a look and it was summer…summer of 2016.  That’s just not cool.  I needed some really awesome socks to break that streak, and Indomitable seem to have been just the thing!  They’re out on ravelry now (and you can get 10% off with the code UNSTOPPABLE).

These were more fun than they had any right to be.  That stitch at the top is sort of magic.  It’s fun to do, looks great with lots of yarn, super warm and cozy to wear.  And the nice, mellow ribbed foot just zips by in no time (even for big feet!).

And then…once the knitting is done…comes the only hard part of these socks.  You have to decide if you want to wear them just like you’ve knit them, or if you want to flip them inside out and turn down the cuff.  The first picture in the post shows them cuffed, the second shows how they come off the needles.

As far as I can tell, there’s really no wrong choice here!  They’re adorable cuffed, and equally charming with the leg straight.  Now, if you happen to not be a fan of cuffed socks, of course you could run that awesome texture pattern all the way down the leg (and the pattern talks about that option too).  But I sort of like having both options, so I did mine half and half.

I knit mine in a Merino/Cashmere/Nylon blend from Mineville Wool Project (sadly discontinued, but there are oodles of good mcn sock yarns out there, so don’t despair).  I couldn’t decide if I wanted solid or wild (that stitch at the top looks amazing with both), so I somehow ended up with both in my stash.  I eventually went with the solid (I’m boring like that), but I’ve got the variegated one to give away.  Swing by this post on instagram if you think it might want to come home with you!

And, for everyone I can’t send yarn to, I’ve got a coupon for Indomitable.  You can use the code UNSTOPPABLE to get 10% off between now and Friday.  Just put Indomitable in your ravelry cart, click on the ‘use a coupon code’ button, and type in the code UNSTOPPABLE.  You’ll see the change in price reflected right away.
