[Nfb-krafters-korner] Socks

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Tracy,


I would be interested in this type of class. I have made booties but never socks. I haven’t been confident that I could work with sock weight yarn. But I am usually up for a challenge and especially something involving yarn. I was wondering however about whether your pattern adjusts to the fact that cotton is going to shrink? I have had dishcloths I made from cotton yarn shrink into rectangular shapes that were originally square. a cotton blend might work better, have you tried something in a blend? I would not like a wool blend, but I am sure there is some kind of sock yarn out there that wold work.

With so many at convention, you may not hear back from others for a few days. I am sure there will be others interestedin your class besides me. 

Looking forward to making socks.

Have a wonderful day!

Cathy F
