These are socks #18, 19, 20 and 21 for the year 2011
More socks for the orphanage in Kazakhstan. The first pair is knit from some old yarn in the short row pattern. Not my most favorite pattern, but the hand-dyed yarn calls for it. Regular 4 ply sock yarn.
And finally a pair of socks knit with another skein of ONLine Wellness II yarn. These socks have a foot length of 22 cm. The pattern is based on the "XOX Socks" by Wollhuhn (literally translated wool chicken). She offers several free patterns on Ravelry.
I'll close with Porky Pig's famous saying: "That's all folks" for today. Knit on Merrily!
You are to abe admired for knitting all those socks for charity.
