What can be used instead of Wool?
Can’t wait to try these. I have wanted to make socks for a good while, but since I don’t knit, the right pattern to try has not “grabbed” me like this one!
What should I do if I have heavy calves?
Yes i will
So going to try this pattern
I am just getting into making socks, whether they are knit or crocheted. I want to say thank you so much for an awesome and beautiful pattern.
Thank you,
Sherie
