I haven't actually worn the socks yet, my feet are still to cold to take out of my snow boots ;) LynnH - I never thought about what decreases or increases are stronger for socks. A whole new idea to consider! Deby - We have been in Michigan since 2001. It sure is a lot different from Phoenix! I do visit the Gaylord area (The Garland in Lewiston actually) every fall for Fabrications - for art quilters but wonderful! Thanks Deby and LynnH.

I love them! I am glad you do too! I didnt realize you were in Michigan also! I left Millington to come to Gaylord in 2006. I used to belong to the Spinners Flock. I love all you dying and really want to learn how. Your yarns are yummy! Deby Your socks turned out stunning in that color. I love them! I am glad you do too!

I never thought of bobbles as a texture element on socks. These are small enough to just plain be texture. Of course, I love bobbles in contrasting yarn as polka-dots sometimes, too. I think that toe is stronger than a wedge toe, because at least for me a K2Tog is stronger than a SSK or PSSO. I have started doing these as the "heel" on my afterthought-heel socks. Nice color, too. Are you sure these are not MY socks??? LOL Guess I need to finish my pair. Mine are stockinette in Aran weight and I have only half a leg and one heel left. Maybe tomorrow, if all goes well. Lovely.
