Simple SKYP Socks

Sock in progress....Simple Skyp Socks by Adrienne Ku. I have knit these before, 2 years ago, for my mother. For her 60th birthday as a matter of fact. She loved them and wore them so much that they now have a hole...not a rip but the yarn actually disintegrated! I suppose I could figure out a way to repair them or..... I could just knit her some new ones! I should also mention, it's her birthday today! 62 years old :). A little trivia....she is the same age as Silly Putty!

The SKYP pattern, this photo is a better representation of the yarn color.

 

I am using Dream In Color Smooshy, Blue Lagoon....purchased from The Loopy Ewe. I love this yarn, it has a nice twist, it's on the thicker side of fingering and the color is vibrant. The only thing I'm not that crazy about is it's kind of scratchy....not too soft. Thankfully that doesn't matter to my mother though, so all is good.
