DK CoBaSi Fusion socks

I wear wool socks non-stop during the winter and my feet love, love, love wool socks. However, I sadly wool becomes itchy as Winter slowly turns into Spring. So I need a Spring/Fall sock to wear around the house when my tootsies are chilly, but I don't want to get hot feet from wearing wool.  If you get hot feet, you will know this is not comfortable !!

I really like the CoBaSi sock yarn by Hikoo.  This yarn is cotton, bamboo and silk with some nylon. Makes a nice sock, specially if you are one of those people who does not care for wool.  My daughter does not like wool and I've made her a couple pairs of socks with the sock weight yarn. I want to make a couple pairs for me to try out for summer socks, but that's for another blog.

CoBaSi also come in a DK weight yarn which I think will be great to go with my slippers and running around the house.  They have a nice selection of colors so I can see me crochet/knitting several pairs for myself.

Here is a link to my Ravelry project page DK CoBaSi Fusion Socks

Lets get started. First sock is off to a good start !

Socks are coming along. I have the first one finished and ready to start the leg on the second one. I decided the lavender needed a bit of perking up so I bought a ball of the Bubblegum pink and it's a pretty color of pink.

Just to say, those pinks spirals took a bit of work to get them organized !!! Don't miss them !

Done !!!! Ta Da !!!

Got the socks finished off today and am really pleased with them. I need to do some tweaking to get a better fit, but since these are slipper socks, they fit good enough !

The legs are crocheted, but I did not do a typical tapestry crochet for the color work.  I didn't want them to be stiff, so I carried the yarn in the back of the stitching.  Just have to keep my toes out of the loops !!

Just so you can see the inside !!
And then the finished socks with their sock forms so they will look nice !!!

Looking forward to wearing these in a couple months

Comfy looking !!!
