New and Old knee socks!

Opal Traumfanger 1233 (Dream Catcher)

I wasn't ready to send these socks to the too short pile. So I took the entire foot out by cutting off the toe and ripping all the way back to the ankle and then remeasuring her foot and working a whole new sock from the ankle down to the toes. They came out just as cool as the first pair. First pair is the one with the black chair background. New pair is just folded over. Each pair is identical to it's mate. I can't believe I was able to do that with left over yarn and what I ripped from the old sock. Now, she will have warm knee socks for another season. I have plans to do that with a few more pairs as they become too small. Note: The yarn shows no wear or difference from the worn and wash socks next to the new yarn that way left from the original socks. Opal is a very hardy yarn. I truly love the finished products. It is very stiff to work with unwashed but that is a small price to pay for great lasting color and yarn.
