If you are not a knitter, you might think these retro socks have some complicated color work going on.
Ahh, but if you are a knitter then I can't fool you. All the color changes are in the ball. It is "cheater yarn" because it is easy to do knitting but has an interesting color pattern going on. It makes knitting plain socks not so boring, I keep waiting to see what color round is coming around the bend. I'm using size 0 needles for longer wearing socks. I am heading down to finish off the toe where I'll face the dreaded kitchener bind off. (You knitters know what I mean.)
Now that our daughter has moved to the cold environs of Chicago I can knit up warm things for her- Yeah!!
