Guess what? Socks are Fashionable

As if we devoted sock knitters didn’t already have an obsession with socks, the world of fashion has finally come over to our side.

I don’t know about you, but in my travels most encounters with “store bought”  socks have largely been around novelty socks and much harder to find beautiful socks, knee socks, fashion socks, those that look great with a skirt or a pair of boots.

Prada featured lovely knee highs in this season's collection

Socks are popping up all over the runways this season.  Great news for hand knitters.  I think we’ll find greater inspiration as we seek to knit up little gems. This season will see some amazing returning sock yarns like Zauberball and lovely new ones that will make you weak in the knees.
