FIRST SOCK

by Lovely on May 17, 2007

Hmmmm, it’s just a tad too long! LOL. But I did it and it really wasn’t all that difficult.

I tried it on – acrylic feels awful on ones feet. It’s very rough. Supposedly this is “baby” yarn. Puhleeese – It’s terrible! If it’s rough on my feet, just imagine how it feels on baby’s skin!

Anyway, I’ll make another of this same kind because I want to practice the toe. I wound up with 2 extras stitches before weaving. Therefore I had to do an extra row to decrease. Don’t know if it was the pattern that was in error or if the TiVo’d series finale of Gilmore Girls distracted me. ;)

The toe is very weird – pointy like for a creature in Whoville! Was it my extra row? Only another test will tell.
I’ll just go ahead and use the same yarn. What the heck else am I going to do with this crappy stuff?
I’m taking suggestions on real sock yarn. Are there any good ones I can buy in my local craft store?
