Socks are the perfect project for on-the-go travel knitting, filling downtime while running errands, or waiting while the coals get hot on the grill: they are small and portable while knitting, then cozy and comfortable and useful when finished. The swirling lacy pattern in these socks is fun to knit—challenging enough to be interesting and repetitive enough to be enjoyable—and a yarn with layers of color and a hint of cashmere makes a perfect pairing. Pick your favorite color and knit them for yourself or for your favorite adventurous or armchair traveler.
