Heads up! This post contains affiliate links to my favorite places to buy knitting goodies: Knit Picks and Etsy. I get a small commission if you make a purchase based on my recommendations in this post.
I have coveted Cookie A's BFF sock pattern for years and I can't say what took me so long to knit a pair, but I finally did! I bought this bright yellow sock yarn on a whim and when I started knitting with it, I couldn't get our Executive Director out of my mind. She always signs off her emails with the phrase, "Shine On," and that's how I felt about these socks. Hence, they earned their name and future owner.
FYI -
my adorable sock blockers came from Yarn Stories on Etsy. Shipped all the way from Lithuania, and completely worth the wait! 😃
