Meida's Socks






Here are my Meida's socks. I spun the superwash and dyed it a pretty denim color. I enjoyed the socks but did have some issues with the heel being too wide and so needed to change to the old style rib (s1, k1 across) to make it pull in for a tighter fit. It was worth the re-do as always. I did knit these on a number 2 needle after reading about them being a bit tight for so many of you-thanks for the heads up. The gauge ended up with 6 1/2 sts per inch. These are so springy and soft to wear-I like the way the cuff ripples. I would definitely make these again. So what shall I make next..............

The socks are beautiful! I am a spinner as well and your dying turned out great! Do you think it's more beneficial to dye the fiber or the finished yarn? I have done the fiber, but haven't yet tried dying yarn. Congrats on a job well done! :)

PS-I dyed the fiber before spinning this, too--next week am going to dye the yarn after it has been spun on a diff project-will let you know how it goes! Thanks for asking.
