FO Friday: Bacon socks

These commuter socks have been hanging around on the needles for a long, long time. I have a tendency to switch back and forth between knitting and reading on my commute, so sometmes I go for quite a while and don’t knit much. Plus, depending on when I leave, it can be impossible to get a seat. But it’s nice to have a plain project to work on without thinking too much…I took these to Pantheacon and whipped through the second sock in no time at all.

Bacon Socks

The yarn is bacon yarn from Holiday yarns. I love this yarn! It’s so nice to work with, there’s plenty in the skein so no worries of running short, and c’mon, it’s bacon.

The pattern is just a basic sock formula.

Eggs and Bacon (socks)

Bacon and eggs. What? If you’d knit these socks, you’d take this photo too. Don’t lie.

      I couldn't resist a bacon and eggs shot! (I thought about frying an egg
      but…yeah. Too much effort.) Mmm, bacon. Nom, nom, nom.
