Simply Soft. Really.
I had it from a reliable Sheep that this stuff might just live up to it's name. I thought I would try it on socks. 3 colorful skeins were among a basket of generous thank-you gifts from last year's Kindergarten Letter People parents. (Letter A should have been finished this week but a sock virus seems to have taken over all reason.)
Economical: Yes.
Washable: Yes.
Very Soft: Yes.
Acrylic: Well, yes. (Acrylic fume warning right there on the label.)
These are Very Soft Socks.
7 pair of socks are now finished in about 13 days of Knit Unto Others.
I increased cast-0n stitches to 36 and followed the basic recipe of the Basket Weave pattern.
I don't really know Little People Feet proportions, being as my little people grew up! So I just knit each section a little bigger that the pattern called for. I knit until the voices in my head said to stop.
Quick consultation with designer suggests I should have told the voices to shut up and kept knitting another repeat or so. Hopefully they'll fit someone.
Simply Soft Slipper Socks. I'm making me some.
Next week, maybe.

It's soft! And the colors are pretty. And it's cheap!!!
I've never thought of using the Simply Soft for socks, though. That could be quite nice. I'm currently the proud owner of many, many "hand-wash" only socks.
I love how bright they are!
