Lorna's Laces - Mixed Berries




7th pair of the year!

reknitted Lorna's Laces - Whitewater

Reknitted both socks due to holes in heels! Picture here is the original socks! Scanned only one for show! My mother called and they now have another hole after all that work. Actually, it isn't just a hole but the heel wore through. I knew it was a possibly due to the yarn not having any nylon. It was very soft. Soft yarn seems to wear faster! Over all the Lorna's sport wears much faster than the sock yarn. Will think twice about ripping out the any of my socks and reknitting them due to holes. It will depend on the yarn and past history of the yarn in question. Gotta find another way to make them useful when they have a hole and are not wearable anymore.
It was a lot of wasted work but worth it because I learned about the yarn!
