Grandma's Socks


It's really hard to see the pattern. But it is a waffle rib. K2, P2 for 2 rows then 2 rows of Knit. Very simple but adds a lot of texture to a self striping yarn. Neither the yarn (Sockatta) nor the pattern overwelm the other.

I sent these to my grandmother who only crochets. And with age and eyes almost getting to the point where she can no longer. But, they did get derailed to my mother's home, both live in Montana.

Why did they get derailed to my mother's home one may ask. Not because she wants them. But she taught me how to knit a couple of years ago. And now I'm using techniques that she never has.....so it's a little thanks for getting me hooked but nudge nudge look what I figured out how to do on my own.
