Aren't they beautiful! Okay these are socks I made for James, and knitted up really quickly, I think it took me about 2 weeks (including the trip to and from st. louis). I used Cascade fixation yarn, which I dig because its 97 % cotton and 3 % eleastic. For James' odd size feet I cast on 36 and worked on 3 needles, I belive I made the heel flap about 2 inches, and closed the toe when I got near the bottoms of his toes. Yes I made him try it on several times. I didn't work from a pattern, because I am still scared from the Knit Socks! book experience over Christmas. Currently I am working on another pair of socks for James using Lornas Laces, and then I have yet another pair planned for him, and then some purple socks for me. Yes I ve gone sock crazy. Somewhere in there I need to start a baby blanket. Ahh so much knitting so little time.
