Knitting Today: Kate Atherley Custom Socks

 Last week in our Handwork/Knitting Chat group two of us started knitting socks using Kate Atherley's book Custom Socks.  We both are using worsted weight yarn to make nice thick easy to pull on, and even to use as bed socks.  Some of us have cold feet at night which interrupts sleep!

The book is a good book, I would say, but you have to have your wits about you while you are planning your socks!  It would be so easy just to knit someone else's pattern but you cannot count on the socks fitting in any way...thus the Custom Socks book.

This is the beginning of my first sock.  It is knit with Briggs and Little Tuffy sock yarn, a sock yarn I just found out about.  It is a number 4 yarn which I am knitting on US#4 needles to make it nice and firm.  We shall see how they turn out!
