Well.... I worked all day on another Dobby Sock for Oldest GS's birthday on Sept 1. I was ready to graft the toe when something kept telling me to stop. Good thing I did. It's waaaaaay too short. Found out his shoe size, and using this chart, it's just waaaay too short. So, I'll frog the toe and add some more length. Second sock has already been CO, so these should go quickly.
I decided I'd like to try the Cascade Fixation as sock yarn. It's a cotton and elastic blend and people say it's great for socks. I'm thinking it'll be good for my Hawaii family members. I've proposed a swap with someone on Ravelry and we'll see how it goes.
Found another interent toy: Flipped type.

I have no idea what good it is, but, hey it's there.
Yummy!
Great that you discovered the socks would be too short. Nothing like comfy socks!
ReplyDeleteCotton blends can be really nice for warmer weather folks! I haven't tried cascade fixation, but have some other cotton sock yarns in my stash waiting to try!
