Yep, SOCKS!!!! Truly, I have socks! I now fully understand the passion for knitted socks! Until I finished the second one and put these on, I didn’t even realize my toes were cold! Now I don’t want to take them off!
After asking for advice on making socks to fit two different sizes (one with the support brace and one without), I decided to make my first pair the same on both socks. I didn’t change either the needles, nor the number of stitches, and pleasantly have found that the stretch in the pattern still allows for fit. And I don’t have to keep track of which is which!
This pair is made from Patons Stretch Sock yarn, on a size 3 needle. I have enough left of my 2 skeins to make one more sock…..lol….or save for some other fiber work.
Next up is this yarn:
Panda Cotton by Crystal Palace Yarns. It’s a wonderfully soft yarn, 59% Bamboo, 25% Cotton, 16% Elastic. I think I’ll take my needle down one size as well and use size 2 needles next time.
Of course, as I knit slowly, it may be a while before you see these finished!
No! No lower extremities allowed for a prof pic or else we’d all find some other part we prefer to have taken of us.
Congrats on your socks. They look lovely!! You did a wonderful job.
Love the socks! But, alas — still need a “HEAD” shot! 🙂
LOL You guys just aren’t going to let me out of that picture taken stuff, are you!? LOL
Judy,
The socks are wonderful and the quilting is spectacular!
