because now I know how to crochet them!!
This is my first ever pair of crocheted socks, so obviously they are not perfect. (in fact they don't actually even match, but I know what I'm doing with them now)
I got the instructions from here.
How are they better than knitted? They are quicker, easier and I am alot less likely to poke myself in the eye than when I am using dpns.
The yarn is really cheap pink sparkly stuff, a bit tacky I suppose, but I like it, it's fun and you can get away with that for socks.
Lovely snuggly looking socks :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are really cute. I have never tried crocheting socks. Do they stretch well?
ReplyDeleteOh my word, your talents are endless Joanne. Really cool socks.:o)
ReplyDeleteJoanne... Pardon me *wink*, but I resent the slander against knitted socks! :) No, but really, your crocheted socks are wonderful. And I imagine they are much quicker, too!
ReplyDeletethey look great Joanne. now there's an interesting idea...LOL
ReplyDeleteFantastic Joanne.... I always have knitted slippers.. I don't knit them myself as I don't have a pattern..A lady in Rotterdam who is 98 knitts them for me !!!!
ReplyDeleteI have just picked up a crochet hook for the first time ever and started a scarf. I am doing around the hook twice and going through two and I am getting a nice long stitch..
Your slippers look very good.. WELL DONE YOU..
