Made these toddler socks for my daughter's niece. I wanted a quick knit so I used a worsted weight yarn and size 5 dpn. The stripes were so large tho' that I ended up knitting different sections in different colors. I added the ruffle as an afterthought (because I wasn't happy with the rib I selected) and I think that is what saved the day. Really think they are kind of so ugly they are cute socks.... Oh well, I hope she will enjoy them!
I also made sock Christmas ornaments for my family and added some beads. When possible, I used the sock yarn I made their pair of socks with. Some day I'd like to knit an ornament of all the different socks I've made. Saw on a blog where one lady made baby socks as a gift that were to be used as an ornament when the baby outgrew them....what a great idea. I have to remember that one!
