Hearts and Hugs Socks


I am way behind on my blog. So, here is a little catch up.

My second pair of Hearts and Hugs socks were knit with Knit Picks Imagination sock yarn. The color is Looking Glass, a nice combination of blues, lavender, and green. I started out with a different pattern and size 2 Pony Pearls. The other pattern was going to be too tight because it didn't have enough stitches and all of the decreases were being difficult on older Pony Pearls.

I switched to Kollage size 2 double points once I got to my parents and Mom gave me a set. I like the small size of the square needles. I had tried some size 8 straights and they just didn't strike my fancy. Maybe, it is wood versus metal again. I usually like metal better than wood for some reason.
