Incredible Hulk
I’m not the biggest comic fan, but should this colorway be named after Dr. Bruce Banner’s alter-ego’s wardrobe instead of Violets?
I just finished weaving in the ends of these this weekend. Such a speedy and simple knit. I really loved this pattern. It took a smidge more than a week (with a few days of vacation) to pound these socks out.
It was my first time using Crystal Palace Yarns Panda Wool, bamboo and wool blend. It’s also a joy. I’ll be knitting with yarn again soon, were it not that I had so much more sock yarn. (Damn you, Ravelry, for making me face my stash!) I’d go so far as to say it’s my favorite commercially-produced sock yarn.
As is, they are a little tight on me, so I think my sister may be getting them. She’s butch like that green guy who wears purple.

Those are gorgeous, but shouldn’t they be green to be named the hulk??

There are flecks of green in the yarn. The Hulk wore tattered purple pants, so I see these socks as a pre-transformation.

Those are fantastic! I am glad to hear your neck is doing better.

They look great! I know what you mean about sock yarn….I have more then I thought.

The socks are great! What pattern did you use? Or is it your own design?

Prettiness….what pattern is it? I tend to be terribly utilitarian with socks and just knit plain ones.

Did you know I have that yarn to dye too? 🙂
These are pretty! Not as pretty as the custom yarn I created for you today though!

Hey, I think I’d better get some Green Color for you Hulk Socks to you! I’m glad your sister can take the violets.
I hear that the French Synch Swim went very well!
Ciao,
