I saw these cute daisy socks on pintreat a while ago and really wanted some, but at $19 a pop, that was a no thanks. (Don't get me wrong, if they were handmade by someone, I would pay that and more, but not for factory socks.)
I wanted mine to be easy care, read washer and dryer safe and stand up to abuse from the cats.
As luck would have it, I found the perfect grey yarn at the thrift store and remembered these socks. So I bought it. Sadly I forgot to get some white yarn as well. So mine are not quite as cute as the pintrest ones, but they keep my feet warm and that is what matters.
I started them beginning of December and was initially going to get some white to finish them, alas, I am done shopping and not going out in this mess unless I absolutely have to.
So I finished them in all grey.
⚠️ A word of warning when it comes to thrift store yarn! I no longer buy yarn at thrift stores as a rule. This skein was acrylic and not in a bag, so I could thoroughly inspect it and I made an exception. I only buy sweaters to unravel. It is a bit more work, but since losing my entire, expensive stash of hand dyed yarns to carpet beetles that came off a thrift store skein, I learned my lesson the hard way.
Be warned ⚠️!
Another UFO done and dusted and kitten approved. 😸
Hope y'all are hanging in there. ❤
