Lorna's Laces Sport weight LakeView Finished!

These are so pretty! Hubby got these for his sport warm collection of socks. Last year his fingering weight socks were not warm enough to wear when he took the bus to work. My hubby is so sweet. He takes the bus at least 3 or 4 days a week to save money on gas. It really helps us be able to pay the bills. It is a pain since he has to walk a ways to catch it and it takes a extra 30 to 45 minutes to get home. It helps me buy a skein or 2 when I get a good deal on ebay. I have gotten some really good deals.



Needle 2.5mm
Cast on 68
Short row toe and heel!

Lorna's Laces River color! Finished!


These came out so cute!
Cast on 60 decrease to 56 for flap and then rest of sock. Daughter loves them so much that she wore them all day after I hide the strings without being washed first.
My Gauge is 9 stitches per inch on a 2.5mm They are big on her since I want her to be able to wear them for a long time. Will just adjust the toe with extra yarn left over as needed as she grows. This was only one skein of Lorna's Laces in River color. Only had one!
I am so tired lately I am not sure I want to make too many more socks this year. May take the rest of the year off. Of course, I really can't since I have friends and family waiting for their socks.
