My First Knit Sock In The Round Sock
It is so good to be with you during this weeks yarn along.
I spent most of my week reading and re-reading on how to make a sock. I decided to just go for it.. and that is what I would like to share this week. This sad little sock is not perfect and I am not sure if I completely like it..but it is a sock never the less. I am still slowly learning the anatomy of a sock.
I decided to go with the band heel because there is no gusset to worry about and that meant less thinking and more knitting. I decided to go with the star toe which I didn't really like and will not do next time.
I really like the yarn I used which is Deborah Norville Serenity 50% Merino Wool, 25% Rayon made with Bamboo and 25% Nylon. The sock is so warm and cozy. I am really excited to make a real pair with this yarn. I don't have enough yarn to make another long leg sock....so I have decided to use the rest of the yarn to make a ankle length sock for more practice:) I bought a skein of Patons Kroy which is 75% Wool and 25% Nylon. This I hope will make a nice pair of socks..but not until after I have one more practice of making a good heel and a toe:)
Thank you for stopping by today friend..please tell me what you have been knitting and keeping busy with...and always I like to thank Ginny for this weeks yarn along.....
Come and see what's new in my Etsy shop....
Many Blessings to you reader,
