I wanted to do socks in 2009. Started with Hannah Girl's at Christmas, and finally got around to mine! These are toe-up socks. One ball per sock...knit till it is gone! Cool striping? Fun to see the two socks match! (Got the yarn on sale... sport weight!)
The pattern is called Trilobites...first lace socks (lace because they have holes, not because of their weight).
My turned heels came out much better than I expected!
Dad said, "If you knit these socks professionally, you would have to charge $100." Not sure if he meant per sock or by the pair. : )
But I get it! The yarn, the time, the Are you kidding??? I have a hole in my sock??? All things one must consider before starting these! I found a darning tool that we inherited from Mrs. Brauchler... for some odd reason I kept it! My holes will be darned with thread when that happens... remember? I used the whole ball for each sock!
Hhhhhhhmmmmm... Won't these look amazing in clogs?
