March 2006
These socks are part of a yarn-labour exchange -- Jean unravelled a shetland-wool sweater I'd thrifted, and washed and wound the wool for me, so I knit her a pair of socks. Yarn is Froehlich Wolle Blauband Maxi Ringel (colour 7704); needle was a 2.25mm circular. Just the usual sock recipe: top-down, a few rows of 2-by-2 ribbing, short-row heel, wedge toe. Jean's feet are smaller than mine, so I only cast on 56 stitches.
