I suppose at 8 spi the sock would wear like iron…

I never thought I’d hear myself say that but seriously, every knee hi sock i see that someone has made is just fabulous. Well done!

I know knitting socks at a tight gauge helps them to last but I think the twist on STR make them pretty durable without being bulletproof! I used #2(2.75mm) for my one and only pair in medium weight…I much prefer the lightweight!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I used size 3 needles and got about 6 spi. I like the fabric it makes at this size.
