When my kids were little they really loved knock knock jokes. This was the punchline of one of them.. In this care,orange you glad you told me how to adjust the sock measurements because these will probably fit a bit better. I talked to my victim friend with the cold feet and decided what adjustments we would like to make to the socks. I ended up making them a bit narrower at the front as he has narrow feet. I also lengthen the hight of the sock a bit so he could wear them inside boots without them rubbing. This is more vintage fleece. It seems like it might have been from an old Halloween costume although I can’t remember for sure. It really is a bit more cantaloupe colored than the picture shows. I found a remnant of some black swimsuit fabric when I was at Joann’s last week and it made perfect ribbing. It has a higher lycra content than ribbing so the stretch recovery and is better and it should not overstretch as easily. It also has a high cotton content so it should feel good on the legs. I normally wouldn’t use black thread either but it was on the machine and it’s close to Halloween so I decided you could wear them as part of a costume if you wanted to be a pumpkin. Also, I wanted to try the pattern adjustments and decided that once they’re inside shoes or worn around the house it didn’t really matter what the color looked like. The contrast is fine with me also and adds a bit of interest to plain old socks.
