because they need SOCKS! Joan reminded us all that Afghans for Afghans is looking for socks! The goal is 250 pair by 7 March. I started mine last night in Tarragon HW. I had a lone ball rattling around (WHY did I order ONE ball? Who knows...) so I started to knit a kid's small. I used the leg of the sock to test an attractive pattern, which is a lot more fun than knitting a swatch. I've never knit a sock with a short row heel, and kind of miss the flap, thanks.
Here's a link to the pattern.
And by the way, go visit Norma for a Red Scarf recap!

Cute sock. What I want to know is where you got the book in the pic. I'm looking for that one. Can't find it in stores & it's not at the library.
Yay, socks!
Yours looks good. I prefer the flap too.
I'm working on the second one of my small pair today. This is a real labor of love as I've knit nothin' but socks the last three days, and my hands are starting to ache. But a good cause, so Knit On!
Way cute, Bets! I also abandoned the SR heel in favor of the heel flap & turn. So much easier. I love your idea of truning swatches into socks. It's the perfect use for swatches you want to make anyway. Clever girl (but we knew that).
Love the sock! And thanks for the link to Norma. I continue to be amazed by knitters and crocheters.
