I started these socks when Kelsey came to visit me in last February. She said that she wanted to learn to knit socks and I figured that the easiest way to show her was to cast on a pair of my own.
These are simple socks, no pattern. Just knit until you want a heel, make one, knit until it covers your foot and make a toe. Repeat for sock number two.
I used some Sheepaints Sock'n Go in Morning Sky that I've had in the stash for longer than I care to admit. Suffice to say that it has been long enough that this yarn has been discontinued.
Warm, satisfying and a nice mix of colours. That will do just fine.
Very nice Amanda! I love your 'knit until you want to make a heel, make one, the knit some more" haha I remember the first time I made socks I followed every little direction for the heel with great trepidation and could NOT see how it would become a heel, but lo and behold, it did!!
