Trekking XXL has long been a staple for sock knitters, and Zitron is always keeping things fresh with new colors and patterns. We just received restocks and the newest self patterns (starting at 676) and this just screams GIFT KNITTING to me. Not only are these going to be fun knits, but the finished socks hold up really well to washing and wearing, even for the recipient who might not know how to take care of hand knit socks. Heck, I've been known to accidentally throw my Opal and Trekking XXL socks in the wash and dryer with towels with no repercussions! (I usually put my own hand knit socks in a lingerie bag with other color water items and don't machine dry ever.)
Here are a few of the newbies, 681, 680 and 684.
A few years ago, I knit up this color of Trekking XXL and it was loved by all. It was gone for a few years and now is back as color number 686, for those who want to snag it. The striping is pretty random in the width of each stripe- your socks will not be matchy matchy, but they will be awesome.
