Jane is having a contest on her blog asking people to show her their handknit socks.
Well, this is first (and only) pair of socks that I've knit. Trekking Colori sock wool and Inca Alpaca yarn, double stranded. They have a short row heal too.
I knit these back in August of 1997, when I was newly pregnant with my oldest son. They were supposed to be my "labor" socks since everyone told me that their feet were always cold in the delivery room (I did not wear these socks during labor; it was too hot in the delivery room in April to even consider that!). I loved these socks so much, because in a house heating primarily with a woodstove in winter, they were exceptionally warm, and I used to hand wash them. Unfortunately, my husband, trying to be helpful one day, threw them into the washer on HOT water and then into a HOT dryer. Yes, they no longer fit. Unless I want to cut the blood supply to my feet. But, I love them yet and keep them for sentimental reasons.
One day I will complete another pairs of socks. I have several on the needles, but haven't finished another pair.
