These are hiking/camping socks for Nathan. I was shocked to discover that my 11 year old son has bigger feet than me,
geesh he is growing up way to fast. These should keep his feet good warm this summer while we are camping at the Grand Canyon.
Here are the details. Yarn is Lion Brand Magic Stripes, Needles are size 2 Brittany Birch and I cast on 56 stitches, ribbed for about 2 inches and then just a plain old stockinette stitch the rest of the way.
I was not that wild about the yarn. I bought it a few years ago when it first came out and everyone was very excited over it. It's fine for a pair of socks that are probably going to take some abuse, but it is not yarn I would purchase again. I think I have another ball or 2 in my stash and they are now
designated as "boys camping" socks.
I think that my next project is going to be the
Horcrux socks from the Six
Sox group. I got this fabulous yarn just for them.
