When I was younger our grandmother used to make us thick woolen socks every year. They were made according to either the pattern in the ball bands or some inherited simplified pattern
They were always gray and gloomy. But they were warm and the penultimate in functionality. They lasted forever and warmed the feet while skating and skiing and all those wintry hobbies.
They grew small. So I needed a new pair and the hubby needed a new pair and I gave a pair to a friend who needed a pair as well. So I knit some.
