Baby Cable Rib Socks

I don’t have much to say right now except that knitting socks really soothes my nerves.

Feet in a casual pose against a white background, wearing hand knit multi-colored socks with a subtle cable rib pattern.

With a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy in the colorway 901 Cabaret, I knit the Baby Cable Rib pattern by Charlene Schurch in her book “Sensational Knitted Socks.”

The stitch pattern was easy to remember. I’ve worked with Smooshy before and still love that the texture is true to the name. It was fun to see how the hand-dyed colors played out in the knitting.

I have plans for at least two more pairs of socks in the near future. It’s not the most practical project choice considering we’ve already had temperatures in the 90s F (30s C), but they’ll get plenty of wear in time.

For now, they’re excellent therapy.
