Sock Stories Part Deux
I turned out that I had a pair of hand knit, hand dyed sox in my drawer, awaiting a recipient with bigger feet than mine. These were never offered to Dave because of their bright colors. I knew he wouldn't consider wearing them out of the house. So when we talked about bed socks, I figured these would work. Wow! Did they! I am off the hook.
So I decided to try another idea that has been simmering on the brain for a while. This is more of my leftover Koigu yarn which I have unknit from a failed coat project. Many of the lengths were too small for anything other than one inch mitered squares, so they were knit into a 12 patch for the foot and a set of 8 for the leg, with four 2 inch squares for the top cuff.
