Sock Break and Cheeky Chipmunk

Time for a sock break from Autumn Song, although it's not much of a break since I'm using one of the stitch patterns in the sweater.

The yarn is the same color as the sweater, so I figured the stitch patterns should match as well.

Is it too nerdy to wear socks and sweater that match?


Pattern: Stitch pattern B from Herbstlied (Autumn Song) in New Style of Heirloom Knitting.

Yarn: Araucania Ranco fingering weight yarn, 75% wool 25% polyamide, hand dyed in Chile.

Color: Deep, warm rusty red. In the sunlight it looks like a carnelian stone.

Needles: Options 2.50mm circulars

Gauge: 8 stitches/10 rows per inch

One of the many reasons our bird seed disappears so fast.
