second sock
Thursday, January 05, 2017
I finished Charlie's second sock. And I can honestly say, I love making these ankle socks. Super quick. And the fact that the college kids can throw them in the wash with let's say, their jeans? Or towels? Or sheets? Or any of the laundry? BONUS!
Pattern: Home Ankle Socks
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool Ease, 1 ball, or 2 balls for contrasting
Needles: Size 5

Oh cool! What yarn is it that he can throw it in the wash? Paton's Kroy? I love how a mama knitted up socks for her beloved growing boy.
ReplyDeleteit's a lion brand yarn... really easy to care for! xx

thank you, abelian!!
Deletehooray for finishing the second sock before Charlie had to head back to school! They look fantastic on him. I hope that it's not too hard to get used to him being gone again, sometimes the end of holidays feels like ripping off a band aid!
ReplyDeletethanks julie! it totally stinks when they leave after breaks. it just never gets easier. hold on tight to those babies! xx
DeleteLucky Charlie has his cosy toes to remind him how much he loves you. xo
ReplyDeleteawe. i just love how knitting does mean love! xx
DeleteBig hugs. I cried buckets when my adult children went back to their homes after Christmas. One is in Mexico teaching, one is 12 hours away by car. It is so hard. Knitting is my comfort though. Love your socks.
ReplyDeleteawe. i know, kathy. how do they get so big so quickly?! i seriously blinked my eyes. just like you and every other mama out there. hugs. xx
DeleteHaving just finished a pair of men's socks size 9-11 on size 0, those size 5s are sounding mighty nice. Lucky kids and happy knitter!
ReplyDeleteoh, you are so right, suzanne. these are DREAMY! but YOU are amazing to have knit your man a pair on size 0's! xx
