baby socks 2

Yarn: I didn't like the yarn on the first set of socks. I heard about Knit One Crochet Too Soxx Appeal yarn from the KeyboardBiologist (ie, this post), so I ordered some up. In plum, of course.

When I was first knitting with it I thought it wouldn't work.  I knew it has some elastic in it, which I thought would be good for helping socks stay on, but it took a bit of time to learn to knit with it.  Not too much time; well before I was done with the first sock, the unnaturalness of the stretch was no longer noticeable.

I kept the cuffs close to the top of the ankle, hoping that would help them stay on, but I don't think it helped.
