Hello, Mr. Sock


Voila, my first sock! The basic sock from Lion Brand magic stripes, it comes out fairly attractive, more comfortable than I would have thought, even though I grafted the toe in the wrong direction. Go figure. But it is lonely waiting for its mate to be made. I want to pick out the toe and re-graft it properly.

It is unshaped, and made with a heel flap. But the wool stretches to fit nicely and is warm and pleasant to wear. I made it on size 2 Clover bamboo dpns. Clumsy. I cast on the second sock using two circulars, but the rhythm isn't as good as with dpns. Some day....
