Justin and I exchanged Christmas gifts last Saturday, so I can share one of the gifts I made this year! Justin wears wool socks a lot, but he doesn't like the seam on the toes that a lot of commercial wool socks have. To avoid the uncomfortable seam, he wears some of his socks inside out. I knit him a simple pair of worsted weight socks, which have a grafted toe and no seam!
These socks are knit out of some of my handspun. This is the first time I've knit with any yarn that I have spun. I am really pleased with the way the colors and the stitches turned out in this yarn. It will be interesting to see how well they wear. I have enough yarn left of this color to make a whole other pair of these socks!
