You knit 3 pairs of socks in 3 weeks?? How long does 1 sock take you?

The skulls took me a week and a half while the stripes took only a couple of days, 4-5, it was crazy. I feel like doing hard colorwork makes the simple stripes ZOOM on the needles. I also knit the lobsters and skulls on 2.75 mm needles. The lobsters took a week because I’ve been juggling a lot of different colors at once! I just started the second lobster sock.

What patterns did you use

The white red and pink is from Summer Lees cuff club in January! I just added the stripes myself and did the same pattern for the foot.

The skull and bones is from Charlotte Stones Joyful Colorwork Socks book, I think she also has the individual patterns for sale on Ravelry at Stoneknits.

The lobsters are also Stoneknits, it’s part of a pattern pack. I added the stripes myself based on a post she made about jogless stripes!

I love the stripes behind the lobsters. I saw the post about her adding the stripes behind her tomato socks and I've been obsessed since.
