I finished another SSS. This pair is for one of my granddaughter's for this Christmas. It is a basic flap sock pattern of my own according to individual foot measurements. The yarn is Claudia Handpainted Yarn in the Red Wagon colorway. I really like this yarn a lot. I used 3.25 mm needles.The socks on the right are knit with Patons Kroy Sock yarn in the Paint Box colorway #54567 with the solids Louet Gems in the Black colorway. Same type original pattern for a grandson this Christmas. Another SSS hits the dust!
I got curious so I dug through my knitting books and this is what I found.

I didn't realize there were that many. I will buy more than one copy to use in swaps.
Sure looks like it is worth while to check Half Price Books once in a while. I check everytime I am out 'just' shopping.
Oh yes, of course I have nothing financial to gain and not connection to this store or any other. I just like a bargain!!! Got to feed the cats and buy yarn!
