I do love them, and the little one likes them too, but she does keep having to take off her wellingtons and pull them up, because they aren't long enough to catch hold from the top, hence the comment that they could do with being a bit longer!<br />And FWIW, as a fellow knitter and various crafter, I always subscribe to the theory that you should ONLY ever give hand made gifts to people who appreciate them... which I do! xxYourBigSisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537294798049350065.post-71644434795618003502011-03-18T20:41:44.584+00:002011-03-18T20:41:44.584+00:00Sometimes it's easier to knit for friends than...Sometimes it's easier to knit for friends than for family -- in my experience, friends complain a lot less than my relatives do :-) You are good to even consider knitting them again.

I've been thinking of making a tube sock as my first venture into sock knitting, just to get the feel of fingering yarn, etc. I'll have to search for a similar pattern. :)<br /><br />I can't believe you have to make them again.

Question...sometimes store bought tube socks don't fit me well...skinny foot. Do you find this pattern has enough stress that it fits snugly enough not to ball up under one's foot?<br />Happy FOFriday<br />Sandy<br />LOVE the colors.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537294798049350065.post-11746840302271597092011-03-18T12:17:23.121+00:002011-03-18T12:17:23.121+00:00Great use for scrap yarn!Great use for scrap yarn!Staceyhttp://www.freshstitches.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537294798049350065.post-26201264931561542132011-03-18T11:42:17.337+00:002011-03-18T11:42:17.337+00:00I'm always so reluctant to try tube socks, cos...I'm always so reluctant to try tube socks, cos I have such weird shaped feet. I would be gutted to spend all the time and effort making them and then find that they didn't fit properly.<br /><br />By the way I'm having a giveaway to help raise money for Japan. I'd be really grateful if you have a look and see if you want to help: http://craftycripple.blogspot.com/2011/03/something-different.htmlChrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254578516714017969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537294798049350065.post-56563352522976030872011-03-18T10:27:55.709+00:002011-03-18T10:27:55.709+00:00tehehehe

Well, it will fit someone even if the intended recipient is the right one. I have three pair of knitted socks gifted to me because they were knitted too big for a friend but fit my size 9 stinkers just fine. Sometimes having big feet is a blessing.<br /><br />You are rocking the sock knitting. Happy Fiber Arts Friday!WonderWhyGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427923229119655073noreply@blogger.com
