More socks!


Yes, I know, another pair of socks. I'm not crazy -- I just really like to knit them. (: The design on this is pretty cool. The cuff is knit 1, purl 3. Then I knit 4 rows before starting the pattern. Knit 1, purl 3 for two rows and then knit 4 rows. For the heel, I made the PGR heel. I learned the technique at Country Woolens in Lebanon, NH. (It was a great workshop!) I had to take the heel out a few times till I got it right, but it looks nice and feels very comfy.

I started with the Yankee Knitter sock pattern and size 2 needles. The yarn is TrekKing (XXL), 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon.
