celebrating my first trip to sock camp, a quick-knit sock with a motif that plays well with socks that rock® and other variegated yarns. the knit/purl checks move along with the color changes as they spiral down the leg and foot to provide some texture and interest, without the stress of a complex motif. use a sport weight yarn for a warm sock that flies off the needles, or knit at a tighter gauge in a lighter yarn for a comfortable all-season treat for your feet.
shown above: size medium in blue moon fiber arts socks that rock®, colorway, rare gem (a one-of-a-kind color, but similar to hot flash or dragon dance)

i think tina’s dyeing talents are known far and wide, but i just want to reiterate how very, very nice it is to knit with her fine yarns. socks in her yarn always go so quickly once i’ve started, in no small part because her colors are so entertaining to work with. you can view the huge array of colors and fibers in her online shop—go now; i’ll be here when you get back . . .
the special rare gem skein of yarn i used to knit this project was a gift from my dear friend gail, who then offered to test knit the pattern as well. not only that, but she was in on creating the name for it—how lucky am i to have such a creative friend?
gail was joined by carol, another much-appreciated test knitter—carol has tried several sock patterns for me and always provides such great feedback—thank you carol!
and finally, thanks to david, our inveterate photographer; i’ll sure miss him while i’m away . . .

Deeeee-licious! Looking good enough to eat….hmmm….Chiclets? Or was the gum spelled Chicklets too? Look forward to making these.
Cheers, Barbie O.
Really fun! Bright and cheerful, just what I needed on a snowy day. (yes, in Utah it dumped SNOW today!)
As ever, what beautiful socks! I’ll definitely be adding these to my “to knit” list! 🙂
Love the photographs! Wonderful socks, too.
please knit a pair for me, oh Goddess of Socks!
Fun and full of spring (both the season and the Tigger-kind!).
You have another great pair of socks to share!
I am not usually a fan of pink, but I’d wear those socks in a heartbeat! Love both the yarn and the pattern.
Love this! I think I have finally found the perfect pattern for my skein of STR Count Cluckula. (Trying really hard not to go off on a cluck, cluck, chick, chick tangent!) ;>
I’m sorry I can’t go to Sock Camp this year, especially since I will miss the opportunity to take a class from you.
In any case, I think you will have a lot of fun w/my crazy sock camper friends. Have a great trip!
Super cute!! So cute, maybe you should consider wearing them with shorts this summer – ha, ha!!
I was on Ravelry last night and saw them pictured in the new patterns section–I did a double take because “those look like Anne’s socks!” And that’s because they were! Another sock triumph!
Too too cute, I love.

Trop trop joli, j’adore.

I love your new pattern. I have several skeins of Socks that Rock-Medium Wt. and now I’ll have a project to match up with the yarn.
Lovely pattern & the colors are gorgeous. Perfect combination of stitch pattern & yarn. Great pictures too.
WOW! That yarn is gorgeous! The bright color is sure to be a pick-me-upper on gray, winter days!!!
fun. that color is vavavaroooom!
Anne- The color really does look like those fruity chiclets.
Did you ever get the white ones and do rabbit teeth?
As always your socks are works of art and the photography is fabulous. However, I am beginning to think David might have a foot fetish, in a good way of course!
I love the texture in this pattern….very pretty!
