mystery socks
Thursday, October 30, 2008Libby's turn to stand on the table.
And Libby's turn to receive a new pair of socks.
I loved working on these socks. And knowing so many others were making them at the same time seemed to add to the fun.
Pattern: Through the Loops Mystery socks for Socktoberfest (thank you, Kirsten!)
Yarn: Debbie Bliss, baby cashmerino. Color 202. It is not sock yarn. So, Kim let me in on a little secret which a lot of you probably know. (I didn't.)
To reinforce the heel, hold a piece of thread together with your yarn, as you knit. (Okay, okay, probably ranks right up there with the freezer paper story. I just didn't know this either!)

size: 56 stitch
Libby skipped off to school this morning wearing these. Well, I don't think that she was actually skipping. But have you skipped lately? You should really give it a try.
Have a great one!
