I almost wrapped these up without taking a pic! These are for one of my MANY SILs.


Last spring the whole gang was down in FL for a wedding. While we were hanging out poolside I was knitting sock socks for my Mom for Mother's day. There were some comments made about why anyone would "bother" to knit socks. This SIL jumped right into the conversation to defend me saying "There's nothing like a pair of handmade socks!" Well DH's family does a grab for Christmas, so I finagled a way to get the person who runs it to let me have this SIL.
I loved working with the yarn - 100% cashmere from ColourMart (I used the 4ply). I knit the entire foot (from the start of the heel to the toes) with a strand of woolly nylon added to the cashmere. It would not have been so bad if I was knitting each sock by itself, but I was knitting these 2S1C. The pattern can be found at TownsendSocksKnitALong it is Pretty Petals by Jeanie Townsend.

Those socks actually LOOK soft, I could almost feel them on my feet. I bet your SIL was impressed and loves them.
