Happy July Everyone !
Well we're just over halfway through the year and through the BoxoSoxKal2017. Is there anyone else in this KAL ? I'm having lots of fun and enjoying the challenge. If anyone had said to me five years ago that I'd be making a pair of socks each month well... I would have laughed in their face. My plan was to stay a pair of socks ahead but so far I haven't been able to. I still have time. I was at six pairs at the sixth month now I'm hoping to squeeze in another pair between July and August. We'll see.
These are the socks I completed in June. The pattern is Travel Socks by Diane Lyles.
The yarn is Memories by Knit Picks. The colorway is Spring Prarie done on US 4s. I had the one skein with 220 yards and wasn't sure if there would be enough so I used left-over Cherry Tree Hill DK for the toes. I enjoyed making these. This is an easy-peasy quick sock pattern.
We're already going into the second week of July and I've not chosen a sock pattern yet. I better get on it ! I'm thinking of something a little less vanilla this time.
Enjoy

This is why I love KALs - they make you push through the challenge and it's always so much fun to share your FOs with fellow knitters! I wish I had more time to commit to them :)
What a colorful bunch of socks! I love the stripey ones that you finished for June. I had lots of fun knitting socks for last year's boxosoxkal but am way behind this year (only 3 pairs). Great job keeping up!
I need to look into this KAL now that I am retired. You inspire me to knit more socks. My many pairs are now showing signs of wear and I need to replenish my sock drawer.
I agree Alina. KALS do push us in a good way.
Thank You Autumn Geisha.
