A Fresh Pair ... of Socks


I am crocheting a pair of socks for my son in size extra long and skinny. After measuring his feet, we started calling him "pencil feet". Anyway, these are the Ribbed Hiker pattern from the Crocheted Socks book. They are pretty slow going because the yarn, though extremely soft and colorful, is also very splitty. The combination of splitty yarn in a dark color and a very small hook means I have to crochet using a magnifying glass. I have a big one that hangs around my neck. But I've got one leg done and another almost done. I'm crocheting both socks at once in order to avoid the dreaded second sock syndrome. I think it's working!
