[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Socks and stuff

[meow91 at gmail.com]

Hi Jolene,

Do you have a pattern that you like for tube socks? I know you can't share the directions given in the pattern on this list because of copyright, but do you mind sharing the name of the pattern and where you found it?

 Thanks!
Sarah

hi i just do tube socks for two reasons. i am not ready for making the heel and also if you dont know what the size of the person's feet is, then tube socks offer more flexibility. i actually am trying some with ice cream yarn by lion. i use two strands held together so i have two balls of yarn to deal with. this is an experiment so not sure how it will go. the sock is a lot of u knit stitches and up on the ankle i did some tactile striping.
