One pair of my husband’s socks have started to look extremely worn. They are what he wears around the house, so its no big deal, but good to note. They were knit with Encore.
Nice colors on those socks, too.

A bit of reflection goes a long way! I love the colorway of these socks and will have to give Tess Super Sock a try one of these days.

We must thank her and I must revisit MY knits as well.
I love your Jaywalkers. I have some Vesper all set aside for a pair. I was waiting until I finish some gift socks, but I don’t think I can take it anymore. You people are killing me!

I just started Jaywalkers and am waiting to see those zigzags start to show up.

It was totally me who started this and I am thrilled that it is becoming so widely known that you can’t remember who started it. Awesome.

Very important I think.
Thanks for the notes on the garter stitch heel. It is so good to hear that the Tess yarn holds up well. I love that stuff!

I have yet made a sock that fits PERFECT. I’ve come close but haven’t yet reached perfection. Guess I just have to keep on knittin’
