Maybe Monday: TicTac Toes Socks

Welcome to Maybe Monday! This week’s pattern isn’t so much of “maybe” as it is a “definitely” because I have already bought the pattern and yarn to knit these socks! And, I even bought the class on Craftsy to teach me how to do stranded colorwork! Yay! Check ’em out:
Why I’m Going to Knit These: They just look too awesome not to knit, am I right? In addition, I really want to try some stranded colorwork, but I’m not really up to knitting a whole fair isle sweater so socks sound like a great project to give it a try! Also, I love that this is only two-color stranded work but it looks so much more complex because of the variegated yarn. Neat!
The Only Reason I Might Not Go Through With It: If, after taking the Craftsy course, I decide I hate stranded colorwork, I might not do it. If, after taking the Craftsy class, I learn I suck at stranded colorwork, I will have to knit a different project first to practice before I attempt these… like the mittens featured in the course.

Beautiful socks! Stranded colorwork is something that I have been considering taking a shot at too! I would love to hear what you thought of the Craftsy class.

I'll be sure to report back on the class. I already watched the first lesson and thought it was very good, but I have heard some reviews on Ravelry from people saying they didn't learn what they wanted to know, so, we'll see.
