First Handmade Sock
Today, after an epic battle learning the kitchener stitch and then fixing my idiotic first attempt at said grafting technique, I finally finished the first of my baby alpaca socks. It fits my foot perfectly and actually resembles a well-made sock. I’m a little amazed at myself to be frank. Socks just seem so intimidating and magical before you actually make one. I made an attempt to wet block my sock, using lukewarm water with virtually no agitation and laying it flat on a towel to air dry. Hopefully, I haven’t managed to felt my sock. (This is my current paranoid fear.) I won’t be able to start the other sock until the proprietor of Yarnworks gets some more Plymouth Indiecita baby alpaca yarn in with her next order. I’ll post a picture once my sock finishes drying (probably tomorrow).
