Swap Socks
Aren't they lovely? These arrived for me on Friday evening from Jan as part of a little swap I participate in. This is the first pair of socks I've ever had made from Online yarn and I think they are lovely. Clearly Jan knows what my favorite colors are! They got their first try out on Saturday and are just wondeful to wear. Believe it or not, I've never knit myself a pair of socks that is ribbed all the way from the top to the toe. I may have to try doing it myself in the future, since these socks do a very nice job of conforming to the shape of my foot without being too tight.
I just love socks! I have lots of sweaters and scarves, but the knitted things I wear the most are definitely socks. And there's almost nothing better than special pair of socks knit for you by someone else. A big thanks to Jan for giving me a nice warm happy feeling on Friday evening that will return every time I pull these lovely socks out of my sock drawer to wear!
I'm so happy they fit, Theresa! If you'd like to try the pattern, I used the Ann Norling Adult Socks II: Play on Ribs pattern.
Lovely, indeed! There's nothing to compare to handknit socks.
I recently made a pair with OnLine yarn, and I agree- it's lovely. So cushy...
