This is my first crocheted sock ever! The pattern is from Karen Ratto-Whooley, who is teaching an online Toe-Up Crocheted Sock workshop on Crochetville. The yarn is Opal.
Our two-week class started on March 13, with a lesson that took us from the toe to the ankle. Karen encouraged us to work both socks to the ankle before she gave us the heel-turning directions last Friday. She hoped to help us avoid single sock syndrome.
I’m only lacking a few rounds on this sock, because Eva likes her socks to be fairly short. The second sock is already to the ankle.
When Ella found out that I was making socks for Eva, she said, “But what about me?!” She chose between two colorways of Socka from my stash. Her most important question was, “Does this look good with my hair?” (Like mother, like daughter.) Her pair is already underway.
