Took a little break from knitting my sweater to knit these socks.
A friend and myself went on a little trip to knick knackers in Smith Falls, . Wanted to try to knit self striping socks. Wow the prices of sock yarn have really increased in the last few years. I tried to knit afterthought heel socks but when I tried to pick up the stitches from the waste yarn I found I couldn't see well enough to pick up the right legs of the stitches below. Of course using a scrap yarn that wasn't enough of a contrast color didn't help. But it threw me off and I frogged the whole sock. Started knitting a pattern that I had kicking around the house called Simple self striping socks from a book called Company's coming learn to knit socks.
Very nice easy peasy pattern!
This is the third pair of socks knit for Debbie at church, she loves hand knit socks and I love knitting them!
