Last time I dived in my leftover box, I selected some little balls and put them in a plastic bag, for the next sock pair... I'm glad to have used them, because it is yarn I bought years ago, and I felt sooooo bad not to use it until the very last centimeter.
Here they are, just finished. It took me only afew days to complete them, because my job implies a lot of commuting... I love them very much, and I'm looking forward to wearing them next winter!!

Now you've hooked me! I always knit socks but these look so comfy. I'm going to have to try crocheting a pair I love those colors. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for your sweet words! You'll probably find crocheting socks addictive... I definitely do, and this pair is the 4th I made to use leftovers...

Can you recommend a pattern? I have some balls to use up. Thanks!!

Actually, I used a drops pattern for the toe and the heel. Then, it's just, some trebles (UK)/ Double crochet (US)
You might also look on my ravelry patterns (just type saleyaknits on the pattern search page on ravelry)

Those striped up really nicely, great colors!

They look great @saleyaknits... What size are they ?

Thanks! It's a size EUR 39

These turned out really cute!! I love the color combo on these!! They look store bought, very neat and professional!! Thank you for sharing your finished work with us this week!!! 😊

Thank you so much for these kind words!

Hi @saleyaknits! I have an "itch" for handmade socks, and you just scratched it! Love, love, love them. I like the orange and wine color. Great job. Happy #NeedleworkMonday to you, my dear!

Hi there! Thank you sooo much! You might see more socks around here, I've an itch for them too... Happy #NeedleworkMonday to you!

I'm always way impressed by people who can knit...much less knit SOCKS!! Wow, those are super cute and they look great! Amazing job!

Thank you! You should try someday, it seems difficult, but it's not, especially the crocheted ones...

Wow, those are great! They look like they'd be comfy for hanging around the house, instead of wearing slippers :)

Thank you! Crocheted socks definitely are extra comfy for hanging around without slippers... however, they will be used more quickly, hense why I make a lot of them...
