I started these socks on Friday and finished them on Sunday.  The pattern is so easy and fun to crochet.  The results are acrylic and I did modify them somewhat.  These have given me the confidence to knit a swatch for knitted socks out of a yarn that I received from a KnitCrate.  The swatch is washed and set out to dry.  Once it is dry I will be measuring the stitches per inch and using that to create my first socks.  This time they will be knit cuff down one at a time.

What an auspicious start to the year!

Happy Crafting!
