Knitting Stretch Cotton Socks

I've knit quite a few pairs of socks in the past few years, often using multi-colored yarns - both wool and synthetic...














I was inspired to try after hearing about someone who knit a pair a day...

I'm not as fast - it often takes me weeks (or even months) to finish them... I often have a pair on the go.














Last week, I began a pair using Paton's stretch cotton yarn.


















I'm using a Paton's pattern for wool socks - a free pattern I picked up at a yarn store several years ago. (It can still be downloaded for free by anyone who signs up as a member of the Patons yarn website.)

The yarn is easy to knit - and I'm hoping the sizing will be right.
