Self-Patterning Sock Yarn: Yeah, It Is Fun!
i had a good time making these! again, the colorway just does something for me... whether it's reminding me of a culture club twelve-inch dance mix on vinyl, or some autumn squashes and gourds, or koi in a pond... i like it.
today the socks are being courted by a handsome jewish intellectual. they are going to the warsaw café for lunch, and then going to see "the human stain" with anthony hopkins and ed harris. then they'll be addressing trick-or-treaters all evening.
i did learn a thing or two about sockmaking. this is my first successful inside-a-shoe pair, but the instep shaping on a generic sock recipe is too something for my flat foot. i'll have to toy with that next time around.
good deal, good fun!
