Bed Socks

Summer heat continues and I keep on knitting with wool. These Churchmouse “bed socks” are a project I started a few weeks ago in June. In the interim I made some stuffed animals and those were really good practice. So I came back to these finding my technique and standards had both improved and these seemed very flawed. But since they are for strictly at home use I decided to finish them off and chalk it all up to a learning experience. My kitchener stitch, used for closing the toe, still needs work though! I found an awesome diagram in a book called Socks Master Class so I plan to practice it before I finish my next pair.
