Since my last #socktober post was my most recent pair, I thought I would follow it up with my very first socks. Vintage 2005, they don’t get worn often but still knock around in the sock drawer as a piece of my personal knitting history. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶
Grey and black striped socks on blockers on a wooden shelf near a glass base with white roses. Pattern is Broadripple Socks

I don't do fiber crafts but one of my sisters owns a hand dyed yarn business with our cousin. All you knitters should buy her stuff. It's all nerdy themes and rainbows. She isn't gay, but I know you are, so buy it nerds. brendaandheatheryarns.square.site
