Sock Obsessive

For awhile now I have been just knitting socks...

This pair I knit for myself--after knitting several pairs and giving them away. These are knit from 2 colorways of Noro Kureyon sock---lovely wool yarn! alternating the two colorways in the stripe leads to unexpected and fun results.






And this pair I knit as a birthday gift for my sister...a lovely variegated wool and chocolate colored angora. The angora makes these socks so warm and soft around the legs. I am now knitting another pair with "recycled" wool and angora. I unraveled a hand knit sweater which I got a garage sale for the sock yarn---and I am making most of the ribbed leg part of the socks out of the chocolate angora.



These socks are all knit from the top down but I plan to explore knitting socks from the toe up next....
