Charity Socks


I'm very pleased that I'm getting better at reinforcing. Check out my Ravelry Project for details.

I found the yarn buried in my stash that dates back prior to my departure to Australia in June 2012 for the big circumnavigation.

New Socks for Deb

My friend is very fond of pink. Socks wear out quickly and it's winter again and she's just had a birthday so let's hope they will be a good fit for her and not a disappointment (ie too small or too tight)

The pattern is called Temperance from Ravelry.

The yarn is Light of Love from my Favourite online yarn store

I've been working on a method of using two strands of yarn knitted separately (bit like mosaic knitting) to reinforce the heels and toes by using a scrap yarn. I'm hoping to improve the durability and longevity of socks.
