I confess I've had Frieda's experience - big holes really quickly. I think you'd love the article I have in a 1940s knitting magazine which is entitled "Can You Refoot His Socks?"

The socks that I've knit with 100% merino all had holes in no time .Friedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254267613483558301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270785051125674716.post-13839653281150227772010-09-10T10:12:41.634-04:002010-09-10T10:12:41.634-04:00That yarn is such a pretty red.
