I’m so in love with the Sock Surgeon’s Afterthought Heel sock pattern – after I used it to knit my Christmas Socks I was hooked. It’s no secret that I adore self-striping yarn and this is hands-down the best pattern I have found for showing it off! (Specifically, I adore the elusive Knit Picks Felici, of which I have accrued a massive stash).
So, here are my salad socks! I made these really tall, they are super fun.
And there is the sock surgery madness:
