Wrack
Published On: March 3, 2015

They’re here!  The pattern for Wrack (The Boy’s latest socks, and oh buddy has has he ever earned them with the shipping shenanigans of the last week or so) is up on ravelry.

wrack main smallYou’ve watched these click along all through last December.  And if you’ve been here for a while, you know that me knocking out a pair of socks in less than a month is pretty darn speedy.  Part of that is the yarn (squoosh aran by Skeinny Dipping, and a lovely fat sock yarn it is), but part of it is totally the pattern.  The cables get you off to a good start, then you switch to ribbing for a while and cruise along at top speed.  Then, just as you’re in danger of losing steam or getting distracted, you make one more little cable swoosh and you’re done.
