I was a mad sock knitter for several years. For some reason, a couple of surgeries within a 2 month period, + radiation treatment, did something to my brain. (Less ability to concentrate).All of a sudden sock knitting lost its appeal, as did crossword puzzles. However, I have a big stash of this yarn and am loving using it in small items, even combining different yarns that pattern different ways. Somehow it all works together, and is a lot of fun to do!

By the way, I love your website, and have always thought Norah was a great designer even before her Berocco days.

I love the little balls of squishy goodness that is sock yarn!! The colors are so tempting and the self-stripers knit into the most fantastic items. I don’t knit many socks, but sock yarn is great for fingerless gloves and hand warmers.

I’m with Donna – the bright, vivid colors that only seem to appear in sock yarns. Also, they seem so delicate and yet, they’re so strong.

For the reasons you mentioned, as well as that they make great shawls and baby things. Easy care, bright and colorful, not too warm for baby!

I like sock yarn so much because of the fabric it produces – I’m a big girl, and the finer gauge really flatters my curves a lot more than bulkier yarns.

Plus, I’m a definite process knitter, so having more stitches to manipulate makes me happy =)
