Gym Socks Finished

(Edited)

I remember wearing white socks with colored stripes in gym class. I mostly wore knee-high cotton socks, but in my modern interpretation the socks are lightweight wool crew socks.

I chose a creamy white sock yarn and used scraps of blue left over from another project.

I was especially pleased to get the toes neater than usual.

Now I will probably cast on some baby socks. Looks like I will have a new grandchild this summer!

I am old enough to have worn the one-piece gym romper uniforms, too. !CTP

I am starting to cycle out my odd socks and get wool blend boot socks for winter warmth. I don't have anything hand-knit though. It's all commercial stuff. I am tired of cheap cotton socks that aren't warm and aren't sturdy though

Wool is worth it. It retains a lot of its insulating power even when wet. !CTP

Hello, @fiberfrau Happy New Year! Your gym socks are made very beautifully! I love the creamy white yarn of the sock set off with a little bit of blue stips at the tops of the socks! Oh, that is so wonderful you will have a new grandchild this summer @fiberfrau! Have a great rest of the week. Barb :) !BBH !CTP
