The last installment of the Tofutsies "Hot Sox" club is finally finished. I love the way the colors were themed with the season we were knitting in. I followed all the patterns that were provided to us, even though we didn't have too.
Some of the folks in the club didn't even use the yarn to make socks. I really loved working up this pattern. It is another variation on a zig zag pattern I've done several times. Even though I'm a fan of the short row heel, I liked working this heel with a flap and gusset. It gave a sturdier heel.
The ruffled cuff was another new thing that was neat to do. Although I would never picked out this color for myself, I stepped out of my comfort zone and ended up loving it. It will always remind me of the different colors of the spring. I hope that the Southwestern Trading Company and Tofutsies decided to do this again. I will definitely participate. After knitting the socks, I even had yarn left over to either make a pair of baby socks or even for a mitered square scarf.
