Back for another week of knitting and reading with Kat and friends. There's been progress…
Wednesdays Are For Knitting: Doreen’s Socks
Remember how I knit scarves for Jo-Ann and Rose for Christmas? And remember how I said I wanted them to feel like I was going them a big ole hug every time they wore their scarf? Well. Sometimes hugs come in the form of socks, too.
I knit my OG bestie Doreen a pair of socks for Christmas. And I finally (finally!) saw her last Thursday for the first time since August and I gave them to her.
The yarn is Sophie’s Toes Merino Sock in the color Vintage Kitchen. It’s been in my stash for-ev-er.
The pattern is my basic Picot Edge Socks. I just love that little picot edge so much!
There’s a slip stich heel.
And a rounded toe.
They are the perfect hug for my friend’s feet!

So beautiful, cozy and well-made! Love the picot and other fine details!
Feet definitely need hugs too!
I think giving someone hand-knit socks is an even bigger hug than a scarf — there is nothing as warm and comforting as a pair of knit socks!
I am with Sarah… hand-knit socks are a gift that truly is a wonder! I like that yarn! The colors are so bright and cheery! (and I am glad you saw her again!)
Hand-knit socks are a great knitting gift, and the perfect way to make the recipient feel warm (and hugged)!
How great was it to see her in person? Pretty great, I bet. Isolation has been one of the hardest things to deal with during this pandemic. I love those socks, and Doreen is a lucky friend.
Perfect in every way! (And someday I’ve gotta try that picot cuff.) (Of course, that would mean actually knitting a pair of socks again. . . ) 😉
They’re awesome! I know Doreen is going to love them!
Yes they are! Lucky Doreen and I’m so happy that you got to see each other! The socks are great.
I do love your picot top hem and always use it! Do I see that you use a shortened gusset section? Me too.
I really need to try sock knitting again. I love your pattern.
Those are so cute. I’ve just started knitting socks again after making my last adult pair in 2014 I think. Except for 2018 when I made a pair of baby socks for the new baby and then this year I made another baby pair for the newest baby. Now I have adult socks on the needles and many more planned.
