I think everyone who knits socks should have a knitting partner. It is so much fun. I love getting hand knit treasures in the mail. Just before we left on our trip to Florida I got a package from A. that had one of these socks and more pink yarn.She had chosen the pattern, Girl's Lacy Socks in Vogue Knit to Go sock book and used some pink yarn she had on hand to make socks for P. This was a great project to work on while on vacation and I finished my sock on the plane ride home.
The yarn is Wildfoote Sonatina, shades of pink with a touch of orange for spark. 75% wool, 25% nylon.The pattern was easy to follow and quick to knit, however, I did the cuff a little different from the instructions. I turned under the hem and knit it together as I went instead of hemming it after the sock was finished.P loves them because, you know, they are PINK.Sock knitting partner - if you don't have one, get one.
