A while back I frogged my Frivolous socks. It was with a very heavy heart since I had so much done in the pattern, but alas! They would be far too big for my feet. I love the Koigu yarn too much so I’ve recast on a different pair.
Orange Grass Socks
The pattern is called Seagrass socks and it’s from the book Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks by Melissa Morgan-Oakes . The book is nicely made since it’s spiral bound so it lays flat. Plus her instructions and photos are super clear. I’m hoping to churn out a few pairs of socks this summer in time for the winter. We’ll see how far along I get, though! Work has stalled on these in favor for my Featherweight cardigan. More on that next week!

They look cute so far!
They look fab!
Did you get a new header? Love it!
I am so sorry your first pair didn’t work out. But that yarn looks too yummy to be held up in a pair of socks you will never wear!
I have the first 2 at a time sock book, and I really enjoy it!
Your cardigan looks lovely!
Have a StitchTastic Day!
If the sock won’t fit … then what else could you do? Such yummy yarn needs to be made into your most favourite socks ever!
ooooo I want to learn how to do that!!! Two at a time & toe up – looks great!
They look great! Glad you’ll be able to turn that gorgeous yarn into something that fits. And thanks for the book recommendation. I’ve been wanting to try 2 at a time for a while now, just haven’t screwed up the courage. I’ll have to check it out!
Glad you found an alternative for the awesome colored yarn.
I’m glad you found a better use for that yarn than a pair of socks you couldn’t wear!
Sorry the first socks didn’t work out. Hopefully these will be perfect.
That’s one of my new favorite books, the patterns are so pretty and the instructions are so clear. I taught myself Toe Up socks from it. I can’t wait to see these socks,the color is so pretty!
I’m glad you’re reusing the yarn, it’s too gorgeous to not have a perfect finished item
I love the pattern you’ve picked
