Valentine Socks

February 14, 2007 By Carole

I don’t knit for Christmas but this year I did knit for Valentine’s Day. First, there were the Jaywalkers for Jessica. And second, there are these for Hannah.

I call them Conversation Heart Socks because the colors remind me of conversation heart candies, which makes them a perfect present for this holiday.

The yarn is Online Supersocke 100 in the colorway Summer. And I sure could use a little Summer today. However, since that doesn’t appear likely, I’ll settle for candy.

These will be gifted at dinner tonight, along with a box of candy for each of the girls.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!

    Cute socks — you wanna be my mom? Never mind that I am [undoubtedly] old enough to be YOUR mother.

    Do you like Online sock yarn? I’m midway through the first sock of two pairs intended as gifts, and I think it feels like knitting with wool string. Or wool wire. Mine is Online Highland, iirc. I like the way the finished knit looks, I just don’t like the feel of the yarn through my fingers.

    What great sock colors. I actually thought the first ones were handspun at first.

    I am sooo jealous of all these beautiful socks out there. Why don’t mine knit themselves faster?

    Handknit socks. Much better than candy. 🙂

    Those are both adorable! Do you make the labels up yourself?

    I am curious about your picot edgings.

    I normally do toe-up socks, and I tried the instructions found in this Knitty article. My cuffs roll really bad now! How do you do your picot to make sure they don’t roll? Any suggestions or a website/book/magazine you found your techniques from?

    Thanks, Carole!

    Carole, I have had this post saved in my bloglines for months as I tried to find Online Supersocke 100. Could you or any of the other readers (though I don’t know who will see this since it is months after the event) direct me to a US distributor page or an online source either locally or abroad? Where did yours come from? Thanks for the help.
