Back to Socks!

It's been back to sock knitting recently.

I made sock "Crazy Socks" for the 6 year old nephew.

These are crazy alright!
If you wanted to knit them for yourself just
looked for the pattern "Mojo Sock Recipe" on Ravelry.

Then I had to knit socks for myself.  The yarn was a gift and it is so pretty!

Is that ball of yarn fabulous?
Thank you, Karla, for this ball from Nomadic Yarns
in the colorway:  When You Play the Game of Thrones.

To preserve the striping I had to do an afterthought heel.  That means I knitted the sock and went back to do the heel.  It made my head hurt!  First, I tried a normal afterthought heel but it was too tight.  I ripped that out and found something called the Crystal Heel which leaves the sock just snug.

Here's a close up of the Crystal Heel.

I think these are lovely striped socks. Don't you?

I love how the pattern makes the stripes all bendy.

Anybody have any ideas of what I should knit next?  Just make a comment below.  Thank you.  And remember, to keep your feet warm!
