I've been thinking about my brother's socks. About how big they are. But you know they're not really that big. They're big, bigger than my feet, bigger than The Greatest's, but not freakishly big. Not record making big. Just bigger than my family.
I guess I just thought they were so large because I've been making a record amount of little girl socks. They were especially tickled to get this matching set.
Larger for Pork Chop, smaller for Bird.
Which prompted Pork Chop to declare that "Bob"
Needed a pair too.
But that wasn't enough. Not only did Bob need a pair but
"Back-up Bob" also needed a pair.
So when you've been knitting toy booties now wonder real feet seem impossibly huge.
Don't worry "Hippo" and "Carrots"
I'm working on your socks.
It's amazing that I've had something like 16 skeins of this now discontinued colorway and not one skein has gone to make ME a pair of sock.
I love the sockettes. Can you share how you modified the pattern to make them for kids/toddlers?
