Knitting: fall tweed socks.


Another pair of socks finished! I planned on knitting this yarn into socks last fall but never got around to it. This color, plus the tweed, reminds me so much of autumn! It looks all over the place in these photos, but the last picture is the truest color: a dark, burnt reddish-orange.

I used the Impossible Girl Socks pattern, named for Clara in Doctor Who. It's such an easy pattern. With the mock cables along the sides, it's just enough detail to keep things interesting, without really being any more difficult than vanilla socks. The yarn is Knit Picks' Stroll Tweed in the autumn heather colorway (maybe that's why this color makes me think of fall, ha).
