One of the fiercest sock knitters we know, Megan O’Byrne, pointed us to this dazzler. She pulled a Uneek sock in progress out of her bag when we ran into her at Vogue Knitting Live, and she just smiled and nodded.
Yeah. It’s pure fun, this yarn.
We’d been on the prowl for a self-striping yarn to add to the sock yarns available in the MDK Shop. When we saw what happens when you knit these little dumplings, we almost felt at peace.
At least, as close to peace as we’re going to get at the moment. With knitting as one of the sources of escape and solace these days, the simple pleasure of making a sock is really resonating with us.
