Basic Wool Socks
These were the first knitting project I attempted after a long hiatus. The first pair I knit I used the size 7 needle size recommending in Ann Norton's pattern. The socks ended up huge. My son now uses one of them to cover his skiing goggles.
For this pair I used a size 5 needle and they are closer to my size foot. Perhaps the original pattern was calling for fingering rather than worsted, I thought it said worsted, but I could be wrong. As you can see one toe remains undone. I forgot how to do Kitchener stitch when I finished knitting the sock, and there it sits for a free minute to close the toe. I expect I'll get it done when I completely run out of other socks to wear. I'm not sure they will last very long. The dark colored yarn is loosely spun.
