If you look carefully, you can see turtles swimming along with their heads and tails tucked in, and a pretty design on the back of their shell.
The yarn here is from Oink Pigments in their Targhee Sock base. The yarn is super squishy and really has been fun to knit with. This pair of socks felt like they knit up extraordinarily quickly-I’d been planning on making them smaller, but when I stopped to check I’d done half a pattern more than I’d intended!
The heel I did on this pair is one I’ve been developing throughout all these socks, but I think it works really well for this. It has a reinforced bottom that extends the whole length of the gusset, which I like because if I wear my socks at the bottom of the heel it rarely is within that heel-turn area. With this heel I get to have the whole bottom of the heel reinforced. Also, I like the fit and how the sock looks like a foot even when it’s not being worn.
