Striped Socks: Completed!


It's 100 degrees outside, so naturally, I knitted myself a pair of wool socks!  ;-)  I am becoming more of a fan of sock knitting.  It is easy to do in front of the TV!  These socks feel very soft and lightweight.  I like them!


I learned a lot making these socks.  I had to re-do each toe twice until I was happy with them.  I wish the striping could have worked out better, but I resigned myself to the fact that it wasn't going to be exactly perfect!  They're handmade, after all!  Next time I use self-striping yarn I think I will use a coordinating solid colored yarn for the cuffs, heels, and toes.

  1. The stripes look pretty perfect to me! The socks are amazing, Kels! I like how you did the toes different colors on each sock.
