Day 12: Yakima, Washington to Twin Falls, Idaho
Started the day off at this point on the second sock, and finished it in Oregon! Happy to say I finished this pair while in the three west coast states!
Day 13: Twin Falls, Idaho to Cheyenne, Wyoming
Started the day off with the beginning of my last pair of socks for the trip, wondering if I could finish one more pair in the remaining travel time ...
Day 14: Cheyenne, Wyoming to Kansas City, Kansas
Started the day having turned the heel and gusset decreases, ended it with a finished sock!
Day 15: Kansas City, Kansas to Starkville, Mississippi
Started the day with the cuff of the second sock done, and raced raced raced knitting the fastest sock of the entire trip ... and had everything but the toe decreases done when we pulled into the driveway!
And now the finished socks!
Yarn: String Theory Colorworks Resonance
Pattern: Chains Socks (link to my Ravelry project page)
Yarn: White Birch Fiber Arts
Pattern: Mojo (a freebie: pattern page, my Ravelry project page)
Yarn: Western Sky Knits Magnolia Sock (colorway: Rocky Point)
Notes: These socks are inspired by Mojo--I used the ribbing patterns, but then chose my own sequencing. These socks are super squishy and cozy--they will be perfect in the winter!
Needless to say, this was an epic trip that we will remember for ages. And I can't believe I knit three pairs of socks in basically less than two weeks! That is equally epic for me. Now back to my regularly scheduled summer knitting and sewing projects, my friends!

Impressive work! Glad you had a good trip-road trips are the best :) And now you have three pairs of fantastic socks to go along with your trip memories!
Super sock knitting! Those Mojo socks look super crazy when they aren't on a foot, but they also look super cozy.
You are right, they look super strange! But totally cozy!
Thanks! And yes, I will remember this trip fondly when I wear these socks!
I totally dig those blue and yellow ones!
Great socks! :-)
What gorgeous reminders of your trip!
