Remember Olivia’s socks? Well, here’s a reminder….

They were knit with Dale of Norway because my LYS didn’t have any respectable sock yarn. I was skeptical as to how they’d hold up. They are Olivia’s favorite socks and she usually sneaks 2 to 4 wearings between washings, despite my protesting for sanitation’s sake. So, I’m washing them yesterday, and I give them a good look over, and they are holding up beautifully! They have fuzzed a little bit, (which they did right away, hence my concern in the first place), but that is all. They look really nice. I must say I’m surprised because the socks I knit for my sister using legitimate sock yarn (Regia self striping) were looking pretty worn before she even took them home. (I wore them a couple times before she came into town. They were my first socks, I couldn’t help it.) Hooray for Dale of Norway! I have most of four skeins left, maybe I’ll make myself a pair.
