Remember those Mazda commercials?
The wavy stripes running down this sock reminded me of curvy roads and fast cars.
Summer is upon us (it’s 82 here today!!) and I wanted a light sexy sock to celebrate. I gotta have something cute to tuck in my purse when we go to the movies.
Zoom Zoom is knit from Hazel Knits Soy Merino which make it a little lighter, and a little shinier, and very soft. The color screams grape popsicles to me! Any standard sock yarn can be subsisted though.
Details: ZOOM ZOOM
Construction: top down, slipped stitch heel flap, wedge toe
Yarn: Hazel Knits Soy Merino in Violeta (she seems to be out of soy for the moment but there’s other stuff)
Needles: US size 1
Gauge: 8sts & 11 rows per inch
Pattern: written and charted instructions
Available for $5 US
A very special thank you to my test knitters: Michelle, Connie, Judith and Brandee, as well as my wonderful model Kathy (so much nicer then yoga contortions to get the shot). You guys totally rock!!
I’ll leave you with a gallery of more Zoom Zoom’s knit by my lovely testers.
That's a great looking sock! You probably want to put a price on it, though...
;-P
