    About

    Trying to learn to make socks this year and saw this book using Straight Needles !!! ...i'm not good with dpns so thought " Great idea !" Used 3 different colours of donated wool. Love the way the seam ends up as an integral part of the pattern.. First pair done ! 2 more on the go.

    Measurements

    Notes: I made the first size, small, as I was unsure how big they would be because I used 3 strands of wool together...1x3ply & 2xfingering on 4mm needles...good dense fabric. ended up as stated 71/2" long..small ladies.
