When I saw the “Lisa” colorway in the Knit Picks’ 2025 Felici collection, I knew it must be mine! Truth me told, I was always a Sanrio girl growing up, and whenever I added a little Lisa Frank gear to my collection, it felt a little like cheating on Hello Kitty. But I’m over that now… I need that neon rainbow energy in my life! (Don’t we all?)
If you’re not familiar with Felici, it’s a really popular self-striping sock yarn by Knit Picks. All the colorways are limited edition and they drop new collections every year or so. I bring that up because, if you like my Lisa yarn… too bad. It’s gone. (But you can always try eBay!)
Project Details
Pattern: Sock Surgeon’s Afterthought Heel, which isn’t so much a pattern as it is a technique for inserting an afterthought heel. (I’ve knitted zillions of them and posted here on the blog under the tag Sock Surgeon’s Afterthought Heel.) This time I did a 60 stitch CO instead of my usual 64.
Yarn: Knit Picks Felici in Lisa
Materials & Items in my Photos
- U.S. 1.5 (2.5mm) circular needles. I’m knitting these on my trusty 24” Chiagoo Red Lace needles that I really wish were 32” needles, but I’m always too cheap to buy more.
- In the pic of me knitting on the train, I’m wearing Lily & Fox nail wraps in Love Spark, which is one of my favorite designs. Much like Felici, Lily & Fox wraps go in and out of stock quite randomly. So if you like a design, you have to buy it immediately.
Notes & Such
- There’s a picture in the gallery where I had two socks started at the same time. There is a reason why I did that… it’s a long story, but I was problem-solving while on an airplane… anyway, I frogged the second sock when I got home. I don’t know what I was thinking by starting it just one stripe off from the other one. IT looked so weird.
