No pun intended. I’ve been on a roll in finishing socks lately. At the very end of December I cast on the Devon Socks from Cookie A’s sock book Sock Innovation
Overall the pattern was fairly easy to keep up with. There weren’t any major surprises. The only modifications I made was going up to a US size 2 because 60 stitches on a 1 will not fit around my ankle.
One of the things I was excited about was knitting with Wollmeise again. I knit a pair of socks with 100% a few years ago and they unfortunately got holes very early on in their wearing. I have since fixed the one hole and still need to fix another. I wanted to try the 80/20 to see if they would hold up a little better. I got the colorway from someones destash on ravelry. It was a joy to knit with.
Yarn: Wollmeise Sockenwolle 80/20 Fluffy colorway am kalten Polar

It has been nice wearing a new pair of socks two days in a row to work. Too bad I don’t have a new pair for tomorrow!
