Pattern:  Yarn Harlot’s sock recipe from Knitting Rules

Yarn:  Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in “Bee Stripe”

Comments:  These are surprisingly warm socks.  I usually wear pretty thick wool socks because I get cold easily and my feet get wet a lot.  These socks are quite a bit thinner than my regular socks but they are just as warm!

Today it is finally spring!  It is warm(ish) and sunny and I wore my new socks!

You may have noticed the blue toe on my sock.  There is a story there (of course).  I knit the first of my Hufflepuff Socks and I noticed that I still had quite a bit of yarn left from my first skein.  I had purchased two skeins of yarn to make these socks but I have really small feet and I began to wonder if I could squeeze two socks from one skein of yarn.  I almost made it!  The blue yarn is where I ran out of my first skein of yarn and was too cheap to crack into another one for just the tip of the toe.

Actually, the right sock is a little small, I have to wear it on my slightly smaller right foot, but I love these socks anyways!
