Retro Rib Socks

Retro Rib Socks designed by Evelyn Clark from Favorite Socks: 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave completed! I used a beautiful yarn called Merino Cashmere Sock by Squoosh Fiberarts in the color Dewberry. As usual my camera overexposes my deep moody colors. You can find her yarns on Etsy but I see a notification that she is closing shop. Very sad to see her stop dying yarns and fibers. She does have some of the dewberry color in her beefcake base.

The pattern itself was easy. I had cast on these socks in Sept of 2021. Since then I have moved and most of my yarns and partial projects are still packed up in bins! However I came across this and saw the one sock just past heal turning this month and decided to complete the pair. Once I started on them again I was done within a week. The stitch pattern is easily memorizable and because of the regular purl bumps I was able to keep track of how much I had knit on the first sock for when I started the second-over 2 years later. A combination of knits, purls and twisted knit stitch columns for a super cushy ribbed texture.
