quick socks
I started knitting these socks at my mom’s house during Christmas. They only took me a couple days to finish. Gotta love that worsted weight yarn!
I knit these two at a time on a size 6 32″ Addi Turbo, toe up, magic loop. It took two balls of Big Mexiko, a worsted weight, self patterning superwash wool. I know that a lot of people don’t like knitting worsted weight socks because they’re too thick to wear with shoes, but I LOVE to come home from work and put these on my cold feet. They are SO comfortable! And if you do wear clogs (or God forbid, crocs) these would work great.

Oh my, I think I’m going to have to buy this yarn. It also looks like I’m going to have to buy 6 addi turbos, darn it. ; )
Those socks are beautiful! Well done Allison.

Nothing wrong with worsted-weight socks. My first sock attemp was with some leftover bulky yarn. I think it was 20 or so stitches around. Had I known what I was doing at the time, I probably would have finished them pretty quick.

okay, even though a lot of those words were basically greek to me, i do know 2 things:
1) cute socks
2) crocs are suuuper dorky, but tiny crocs on tiny kids are kind of cute. gotta admit.
