I wrote a post about ~J’s~ socks a week or so ago and found it this morning sitting in the draft folder. Hmmmmmm. Well, better late than never, I guess.
Pattern :: My Own Pattern
Yarn :: Miss Babs Windsor Sock, bruin colorway
Needle :: US 1 (2.25 mm)
The pattern has a simple rib down the sides, a Fish Lips Kiss Heel, and round toe. I bought the yarn a couple of years ago at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival. Love Miss Babs’ yarn. Sadly, bruin is a one-time-only colorway. Wouldn’t it make a great sweater? ~J~ has worn these a couple of times now and declares them to be a great fit.

Saturday’s forecast is sunny and warm, temperatures in the 60s. Spring is back . . . for at least a day. 🙂
Enjoy your weekend, friends!
Nice colors! My sis is knitting me some. I have two pair of hand knitted socks (one from my sis and one from my niece Tina). I love them!

Very manly! I’ve never used Miss Babs. The lines are always too long at MDSW. I need to order some.

Yes – once bitten by the hand-knit socks bug, it does make one want a drawer-full of them 😉

Thanks, Karen. This was the first time for this pattern, but I’m sure I’ll make it again.

Socks are just so darned adaptable, aren’t they 🙂 I’ve got a pair of “Husband Socks” on the needles myself…ribbing is the key to a fit he can live with.
