I Completed My Knee Socks

[wlotus]

Yarn Brand: Red Heart
Weight: Worsted/Medium
Color: 0313 Aran (no dye lot)

I altered the original pattern to make the sock top 60 stitches long, instead of 30. I also used a 4.00mm hook, as I did not have the 4.50mm hook the pattern called for.



These socks are thick: perfect for lounging around the house on chilly days or wearing outside in winter. They just fit my women's size 10.5 casual shoes. My next pair will be made of sportweight yarn, so I can wear them in the spring/summer.

so cute! I do not have the patience for making socks!

I used to think so, too. Now, though, I have visions of socks in all sorts of colors!

Marvelous! I really need to stop bellyaching about how I don't know how to knit or crochet. If I want to do it, I hsould learn.

Haveyou considered selling your socks and other yarn tems as well as your photographs?

Right now I have a hat on sale in my Etsy shop (http://wlotus.etsy.com/), and I've sold two hats offline. I may add socks at a later date.

Those are fantastically adorable! If I weren't so hot natured, I'd totally pay you to make me a pair (if you were open to the work and all). I bet a bright pair that was striped black and hot pink would be nifty.

I would definitely be open to the work. Black and hot pink stripes sound like fun. :-)
