Socks that Rock *Sugarplums*


10th pair of socks for 2010 for my Aunt Jean! Picture to follow in awhile! They are done!
When I look at these I think of purple grapes and green vines!
This was the only pair that fit her in the instep. The other 4 were short row heel. They fit beautifully everywhere else. I didn't have her foot to try them on before she came from out of state! Next time I will have to make a wider instep.
9th pair of socks for 2010

These are also from an ebay seller who dyes her own yarn. They are pretty. I handwashed them and they are drying here. Will stick with my usual favorite kinds.

8th sock of the year!
I got this on ebay! It is very pretty and soft but is not superwash. It got too small for daughter the first time I washed them so I will passing them on to someone else. Won't buy again since I really don't want to handwash.

Knit Picks - Swish Bulky *Marlin*

7th pair of the year!
Very cozy soft pair of thick socks! Have washed once! Can't wait to see how they hold up during the winter!
