3 Months of Socks

I have been doing my monthly socks, I just haven't been taking pictures and posting. So here goes, 3 months worth.

I'l start with April since that is the month we are in. These were made for a friend and I have to deliver them today so I had to hurry and get a photo of them. They are done in SockEase on a size one needle. No pattern on the instep.

Next up is March. They are Wildfoote done on size 2 needles. These were started in a sock class that I taught.

And last is Feb socks. The yarn did not do justice to the pattern but it is a special yarn that I just *HAD* to use. It is NewZealand possum and merino. It feels lusciously soft to the hand and to the foot. I love it but doubt that I will buy anymore as it cost $36 for the pair of socks. It is ok for an oddity but not for regular buy. Besides, I am not sure how it will wear. The heel is already pilling some. Well, not really pilling, but the gray possum fiber is coming out, when I take them off there is always bits of gray fuzz on them that just lifts right off.

Hopefully May's will be done on time and posted.

Happy spring to all.
