About the Comity Socks
comity (n.) – mutual courtesy; civility.
A little bit of mutual courtesy can go a long way when we’re all feeling frazzled and stressed. While there are times and places when sharp remarks and direct action are appropriate, it’s important to be able to distinguish those situations. When in doubt, I try civility, first.
And if I’m honest, I’m always better at being civil after I’ve had some stitching time. Knitting helps smooth my ruffled feathers and calm my overheated emotions, especially when I know I’m overreacting to a mild situation. Working on these socks helped keep me civil during a particularly cranky phase, and I hope you find them helpful, too, if you could use a little boost.

If you like fingering-weight yarn but don’t feel up to a shawl quite yet, take a look at the Madeleine Hat and Madeleine Mitts, which can both be made from a single skein of fingering-weight yarn.
My Favorite Part: The Mesmerizing Stitch Pattern
This stitch pattern is a real gem. It’s a 16-row repeat, but it’s really just a staggered 8-row repeat, which means you settle into a rhythm really quickly and soon find yourself flying along without realizing how far you’ve come. There is a little action on every odd-numbered row, so you never go too long knitting just plain stockinette stitch. This stitch pattern sits at the perfect sweet spot between relaxing and engaging.
Test knitters reported they had trouble setting their socks down, so beware! You could be walking into a “must knit all weekend, can’t stop, won’t stop” situation.
Then again, who am I kidding? That’s me most weekends anyway.
