Here are my first pair of socks that I’m making for Laurie – she doesn’t know it yet but I am signing her up for Mom’s Sock of the Month Club! I used Three Irish Girls yarn Springvale Worsted, 100% merino wool. Machine wash gentle, lay flat to dry. I used a size 7 needle, magic loop style. The pattern was from Ann Budd’s Knitting Socks book – the basic worsted yarn pattern. When I washed them they got fuzzy. I don’t think I would use this yarn for socks again.
