Circle sox....

I have just finished 2 pair of Circle sox.

The striped ones are for Marion. I met Marion at the Mall. It was "Community Days" and I was encouraging folks to purchase booklets to benefit our nonprofit group. Marion was at a nearby table and noticed my sox!!! (That's what happens when you wear Birkenstock sandals.) She asked me to knit a pair for her and she'd pay me!!!! Well for shame Marion...knitters don't put a price on their work!!! I finally got around to it and I mailed them off yesterday..anonymously...my friends think I'm a fool, but I'm hoping Marion will do a kind deed for someone to reciprocate!!!!!

Pattern:-Circle Socks by Anne Campbell. This is a nice pattern because it is very stretchy and since I'm unsure of the ankle size for either recipient, this pattern seemed ideal.

Yarn:-Patons Kroy. Colour:-Fern Rose. (I just had enough using 2 balls to finish these Sz#9 sox.

Needles:- Sz#1. HiyaHiya 9" circs. (I love these, sorta like knitting with toothpicks!)

I decided to do a short row double stitch heel for these, or the jojo heel.

The red ones and the matching key ring are for a fellow sox knitter.

Pattern:- Circle Socks by Anne Campbell.

Yarn:- Opal Neon. Colour:- 1934, The red, pink, coral family.

Needles:- Sz#1. HiyaHiya 9" circs..

I followed the pattern as written and went with the 'eye of partridge' and regular heel flap.

For the keyring I used the circle sock pattern, sz#0 needles and used Socknitters Mini-Sock by Linda Nelson as a guide.

I loved using the red yarn, well it still is February and red is for Valentine Day and also February is heart month!

I hope both pairs fit. I think I prefer having foot length from heel to end of toe rather than shoe size....but that's just me.

Happy knitting.
