Socks and Shoes

I am making knitted and crocheted socks for my grand-daughters for Christmas. I taught myself to knit 2 socks at the same time from a book I purchased. This is done by using 2 circular needles .Its great, because when you finish, there are both socks done at once. I am also buying each girl clear clogs. Everyone can see their cool socks! My friend and I done this and I get compliments every time I wear them. There are so many cute sock patterns out there!

Comment by Kristal Crow on November 10, 2010 at 2:03pm: That is the perfect price. Thanks, Laurie!

Comment by Kristal Crow on November 10, 2010 at 1:30pm: What yarns do use for socks? I've gotten a couple of sock pattern books, but all the yarns I seem to find are either too big or too expensive. There's a sock yarn that I would dearly love to try, but it runs $6.97 per tiny skein at Ben Frankin.

Comment by Jeannette Pirkle on November 7, 2010 at 12:45pm: Here is a place on the internet but I have seen them in local knit shops and once even at Academy. They were on clearance though. They come in kids, women's and mens sizes.
The yarn barn has them also and boots too here I hope it doesn't brake up this URL it is long, if it does, copy and paste it in google browser.
Here is another site:
You can find tons of them on the web.

Comment by Laurie Adler Anderson on November 7, 2010 at 10:05am: Don't I know it! I have 5 sock books, and a severe case of SSS (second sock syndrome!) Between the socks I go for either lace scarves or using telephone pole needles and bulky yarns! I try to knit every day, but if I knit too long my hands and arms cramp and I have to stop :-[

Comment by Jeannette Pirkle on November 5, 2010 at 2:02pm: I love the clear boots and clogs to show off these pretty socks. I sure hope they love them as we do knitting them.
