Sooooo, you've always wanted to make socks? Would love to knit on 4 needles but you are a little nervous about those wee tiny 2.25mm? And THEN, you have to knit a second one?
Here's an idea; how about a Christmas stocking? I just knit the cutest little Christmas stockings! I used Recycle Himalyan Sari Silk blended with Mulberry/Merino. Add a little fuzz on the top and ... Voila!
Of course you can always use traditional wools to make traditional stockings like green and cream lopi ....
BUT, how about thinking outside the box: how about one in ribbon? Multi-coloured wool from Chile? some wool/silk from Wales? baby Alpaca, cotton/mohair blend?
You don't need to knit green, white and red; how about cream and tweed for the country lovers; black and white and silver for the urbanites, hot pink/lime green for kids, red and orange - Wow!
AND, with Christmas stockings - you only have to knit one!!! (right Carol?)
