Oh Jackie these turned out great..... hmmmm so mean now I have to try making socks too .... God so many projects and so not enough hours in a day ....

[FlowerPower06]

What an awesome job! I love the color

[cupcake]

Brag away, they are brilliant. I love the yarn, and the socks look fabulous. I have never made a pair of crocheted socks as it is too hot here to wear them. Yours look fantastic.

I love them!!

[luvredsox]

Loved the socks! I hope to make some soon.

[RusticOkie]

Those are great. I love the color!

Love the colors! Now I want to try a pair of socks.

I love your socks!!! They really came out nicely. Is that the leaflet called 16 Crocheted Socks or something similar? I've been wanting that book. I have another leaflet for sock weight socks called "Stocking Feet" which I'm actually working on now, but I don't like the heels. Your heels look great! I'm used to making socks from worsted weight, but can't seem to get the right heels for toe-up socks. Are those toe-up or cuff down?

They were cuff down socks... and yes it is called 16 crocheted socks.

 

Ust to let your know... I thought since I washed and dried my swatch I had the shrinkage figured out... Well... I washed my socks in cold water and air dried them and I was almost in tears... I could barely get them over my heel! But I finally managed. I will be hand washing all my wool crocheted socks from now on!

Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments!

[Pyogazel]

They look perfect!

[CDBear]

Well done Jackie!!!! Those socks are so pretty!!

[hjeidi]

I just love your socks! I bought a crochet socks book over a year ago and although I keep thumbing through it I haven't plucked up the courage to try as yet.

 

What are you going to wear them with? It seems a pity to cover them up!

Love the soft shaded look.

[gumby28]

You should brag. They turned out really nice.

[jasmom]

Oh my, I love the color. Great job on the sox. They look nice and warm!

[lizdini]

Very pretty! I've only ever knit sock 'cause crocheted socks seem to take more yarn (plus knitting on dpns looks much more complex than it is-so I get lots of coments)

[Roli]

Those are great! Tha hardest part about socks is making them both the same size!
