Behold my first, and as the title says likely last, pair of knit socks. They are Hedera by Cookie A from Knitty. The yarn is a sockweight superwash wool from Tucson Yarn Company, although I can't find the band to tell you exactly what it is.
I'm going to claim victory on this project, as I actually wore them when we went up the mountain to find snow the other day. Yes, that's long underwear in the previous pictures - my legs are not (quite) that white! They are pretty heavy, despite being made of sock weight yarn and lacy, so I don't know how many more pairs of socks I really need here in Tucson. They were also REALLY fiddly and took way longer than I expected. They turned out nicely, though, and fit well.
Hate to think what those cost at your deserved SuperMom pay rate.
ReplyDeleteYea for you! I've never tried socks. Definitely fiddly.
