O!RASH – Operation Replace All Socks with Handmade

Hot Socks

I’m doing a nu ORASH (Operation Replace All Socks with Handmade) sock.

I’ll also hoping to sell them @ Hither Green Week, the end of May.  They have a picot cuff  & a crochet alpaca tie, also in the cuff.

The heel & toe, is knitted with alpaca yarn.

I’m using a self-striping yarn, I bought from Avicarft Wool Shop in Bromley, some time ago.  See last pick for yarn details.

Hot Socks.  circus colour by Four Seasons.  75% virgin wool superwash &        25% Polyamide.  100g/420m. Recommended needle size: 2.5mm – 3mm.  I’m using 3mm, bamboo double pointed needles.  I bought this yarn from Avicraft Wool Shop, in Bromley, Kent.  I think it cost between £6-£8, I can’t remember.

I’ve completed the 1st foot, & i’m onto the 2nd foot, so I don’t suffer from 2nd sock syndrome!

*Already sold!
