I first knit this type of sole when I made Fast Florida Footies. They have become my favorite socks. It's amazing the difference the stockinette makes on the soles of the foot.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016870605654962884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492301279871001546.post-36627694378122300672008-10-07T12:35:00.000-07:002008-10-07T12:35:00.000-07:00Princess sole is a very appropriate name.

Or I deal with it because I love the fact that I have on hand knit socks!Jenny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077659644092707107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492301279871001546.post-73228780658351597602008-10-06T20:57:00.000-07:002008-10-06T20:57:00.000-07:00I've heard that knitting the soles with the purl s...I've heard that knitting the soles with the purl side outside was more comfortable for people with sensitive feet.

That really was a labor of love. I haven't knit my DH a pair of socks yet but maybe one day here shortly. I counted my balls of sock yarn and I could knit two pair a month for the next year and still not run out. I am on a yarn diet right now so we will see how much I can get done without buying anything new!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492301279871001546.post-59406327621032262542008-10-05T18:17:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:17:00.000-07:00I have occasional problems with socks irritating m...I have occasional problems with socks irritating my feet, but it is usually the toe seam that does it on commercial socks. I did try, however, wearing a pair of hand knits inside out to get the knit side against my feet, and it did feel pretty good.<BR/><BR/>The really soft yarn I like the best is Mountain Colors Bearfoot, which is a wool-mohair mix. It is more delicate than pure wool or wool-nylon sock yarns but very warm and soft. I've knit it in really plain patterns because it is variegated.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193884287824942150noreply@blogger.com
