Rainbow! Rainbow!


Project Name: Rainbow! Rainbow!
Pattern Name: AfterThought Heel Socks by Laura Linneman
Yarn: Knit Picks Felici Sport Self Striping 1.4 skeins = 229.6 yards (209.9m)
Needle: US 2 - 2.75 mm (double points and a circular for the heel and toe)
Size: Knit the smaller size and fits my US 7.5 foot
Love: ♥♥♥♥♥

You can find my Ravelry Project Notes HERE.


I finished my Rainbow! Rainbow! socks in JUST under a month. I love them like crazy!


The pattern was easy enough to follow for a newbie sock knitter to have wonderful success. The video links in the pattern really helped me work through the picking up stitches and the afterthought heel was very easy to do. I love that the stripes don't match. It makes me happy to look down and see a different pattern on each foot.


I am sad that this yarn was discontinued. It was a little splity, but overall a joy to work with. Happily I have a stash of this yarn, and I know I get 8 stitches per inch on size 2 needles, so I can work with this stitch knowing my gauge pretty well.

So happy with this project and pleased to have finished a knitting project! It's been too long!

They turned out sooooooooo cute! They look so happy on your feet. Awesome colors. Thanks for the visit.

@Sandy They sure to make for Happy feet. When it's not 90° out I will rock these out in public. Until then, I am wearing them around the house and showing them over and over to my hubby, dog Emma and cat Izzi. Naturally my cat is NOT impressed. She wants me to knit more so she can chase the yarn as I pull it. ;)

Thanks for the comment Sandy! Have a lovely weekend!
