I make socks; oh yes, I do.

Handspun socks

Not only did I spin the yarn, but these socks were knit quicker than any others I’ve made before!

I used Judy’s Magic Cast-on; it was very easy.

They are thick and warm, and I think they should wear reasonably well. I don’t have any noticeable thin or bare spots.

I used up every bit of yarn, down to a final ten inches or so left after binding off.

They look like real socks. And I made the yarn. Me. And knit them. Me. And they’re real socks. Heh.
