Socks!

Computer-aided dyeing and a plain vanilla sock pattern = a fabulous pair of socks.  A pair like this goes so fast I can whip through it in only 2-3 days.  I love hand knit socks!


Red Heart "Heart and Sole" yarn, 2.5 mm needles (size 1.5).  This yarn can be found at most craft stores like JoAnn's, is quite inexpensive, comes in beautiful colors, and wears like iron.

  1. I have friends who knit socks, but that's one thing I've never learned how to do. I've heard that the yarns are fantastic! Yours turned out really cute!

  6. Love that pair. I finally found a book, purchased yarn and needles, and have one whole row knit! Thank you for your encouragement. I think it will take me three months, not three days!
