These socks only took about two days to knit. I am so used to knitting socks on zeroes and ones that I felt like I was knitting with pencils. It didn’t feel right to be knitting socks on size four needles. Actually, I wish now that I had at least gone down to a size three with this yarn. It is Fiesta Ballet, 50% baby Alpaca and 50% Tencel. It feels marvelous. But, I am not certain that it is appropriate for socks. Except for a little variance in the ribbing, there was nothing interesting. I will probably never use this pattern again or will I ever use this yarn for socks. Come to think of it, I don’t think there is anything I would want to make with this yarn.

They look nice and warm like slipper socks. I keep a few thick socks around for those chilly days when I don’t feel like wearing slippers or when my feet get cold in bed.
