1/10/2010 02:15:40 PM Report AbuseI failed to mention in my last comment that I did these socks on two needles with a fabulous wool sock yarn. Eventhough that makes for more work with having to seam them closed, they were very simple to do and are an awesome project for first time sock makers. Do them in wool and they are really warm! :)
