It's a Sock Thang
It's Soctoberfest and our lovely hostess, Lolly asked us to share our sock history.
Q: When did you start making socks?
A: April of this year
Q:Did you teach yourself or were you taught by a friend or relative? or in a class?
A:I learned in sock class
Q:What was your first pair?
A:A pair of pink socks using Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Magico
Q:How have they "held up" over time?
A:So far, so good! (My Koigu socks felted a bit on the bottom but I kinda like it)
Q:What would you have done differently?
A:Nothing-I'm happy with them. Turning a heel was (is still) cool.
Q: What yarns have you particularly enjoyed?
A: Lorna's Laces, Koigu, Sunshine Yarns
Q:Do you like to crochet your socks?
A:No or knit them on DPNs, 2 circulars, or using the Magic Loop method? I like using 5 Brittany Birch DPNs (size 0 to 2)but I've yet to try magic loop/2 circs or toe up.
Q:Which kind of heel do you prefer? (flap? or short-row?)
A:I only know how to make heel flaps
Q:How many pairs have you made?
A: 8 to date. (6 for me, 1 for my sister and 1 for my OSSP) 2 FO's: 1 pair of black socks for my Dad and a pair using Sunshine yarns in a pattern designed by Soap Fiber Gal

They look so good all bundled in that basket! (Much nicer than what my handknit socks in my sock drawer look like!)
so cute! Basket o socks!
I love mine too. Wear them as soon as they're out of the wash!
And I really like that one in progress!
