Knit up a pair of ankle-ish socks out of Brown Sheep Wildfoote that I picked up from Heavenly Yarns in Belfast, Maine during my trip this summer. Funnily, I actually started these while I was on vacation because I foolishly neglected to pack socks, the irony of a sock-knitter with no socks did not escape me. I was in a hurry packing, having waited until naturally the last minute, and figured since the only shoes I was packing (ergo, the ones I was wearing) didn’t require socks, therefore I didn’t need to bring any. Apparently I totally forgot about the fact that up in Maine at the time I was there it was already getting to the 50s at night, and my feet get cold easily.
They’re pretty vanilla, just a bit of ribbing on the front. The yarn describes itself as being ‘luxury’, which hopefully doesn’t translate to ‘wash delicately’, because that’s not my strong suit. I’ll find out, right?
