Parade of socks

I’ve been doing a lot of this this week:

Grafting the sock toe

Socks come off of the sock machine with waste yarn in between.

Waste yarn holding the sock toe stitches

I remove the yarn, loading the stitches onto two needles and then graft the toe closed. This makes a seamless toe sock which is really comfortable to wear.

That pile of colorful new yarn that I showed last week is to replace what I’ve used to make these:

Alaska in Merino and nylon

Mardi Gras in Merino and nylon

Rainbow of pastels in merino and tencel

Blue, teal and purple in merino and nylon

Purples! in Merino and tencel

Hand dyed yarn from Ellen’s 1/2 Pint Farm in so many luscious colors. Custom knit socks available for order. I can’t guarantee holiday delivery at this point but I think they’re worth the wait!
