Alright, so I've been working on  the Bricks Socks over on Twitch, and now I can post them here! 

Someone knitting a sock on double-pointed needles.  There is a finished sock laying flat behind their hands.  The sock is knit in a knit and purl basketweave pattern.

These are (tentatively titled) Bricks Socks (Pattern Muses, if you've got better title ideas, let me know over on Patreon!)  I've finished sock number one, and am working through sock number two while watching a whole bunch of Youtube Livestreams! 

I'm really enjoying these - the pattern is really simple (as one of my Twitch regulars pointed out, it's basically a knit/purl basketweave pattern), so it's pretty easy to memorize and work without having to reference my pattern notes!

Yarn is *West Yorkshire Spinners 4-Ply in "Dusty Miller"  (as chosen over on Patreon!). This is my first time working with this yarn, and I'm really enjoying it!  It's a teeny bit splitty, but it knits up really nicely!  

Needles are a mismatched pair of 2.25 mm (US 1) double-pointed needles.  I had to scavenge a couple of different sets - most of my DPNs are in various sock WIPs  I guess?  

Stitch marker is a *"Faith" Stitch marker from *NotionsEmporium.  I love the locking stitch markers for working with DPNs as you don't have to worry about them falling off the ends of the needles.  Plus, they can mark specific rounds if you need, too! 

Alright,, so it's back to the Youtube Livestreams, for me, along with a big cup of coffee and my knitting!
