My first pair of socks.


I got this yarn in a box that was gifted to me. I made my mom a pair of bed socks with it. No idea what the fiber content is, there was no label on the yarn.

Allen! Those are great! I love the colors, very nice knitting. You must be a speed demon of a knitter, I'll bet you're going to be like the rest of us and have at least one pair of socks going at all times, just to have handy for doctor visits or bus rides or any other time you just need a little something to work on but don't want a commitment to something huge. Congratulations and Welcome! :)

Wow, love the colours! Warning: sock knitting is addictive! :)

Great socks Allen. Did you do them by hand? They look so because of the style.

Hi Colin,
I did knit them by hand. It was a simple pattern that I found on the net called, bulky sock pattern. I wanted to try something simple for my first pair. I also have a book of hand knit patterns from vogue that I've been itching to try, but haven't had the courage. I think that now I've finished the first pair I will definitely make more. Steel breeze is right, they are very addictive.
