Lorna's Laces Ravenswood & Mt. Creek Socks



Finished July 11, 2007
Both are single socks! I am using up my single skeins of sock yarn. Hubby loves colorful socks. He will choose which of the single socks to wear with each of other single socks when I am done with all the single skeins. This way if one get a hole he will still have a few to choose from.
These two are cast on of 76 with needle 2.50 short row heel and toe. Love them!

Knit picks yarn
Made on 0 and 1 size needles. Cast on 64 with needle size 1. Switched to size 0 increased to 68 for short row heel & foot. Made a very soft sock. If I had made the foot longer. My daughter would be wearing them for years. Really was surprised at how much I loved this yarn. Too many wonderful yarns and not enough time to knit them all. Wish her feet would slow down growing so I could keep up with her socks. lol All her knee socks are too short for winter but still in perfect shape. Plan to cut off the toes and reknit them longer. I have done that for many of her other socks and it really has extended the life of the socks.
