Big Blue Socks

Photo taken by the T-man using his new camera

These socks are for the Mittens for Akkol Christmas 2007 challenge. We are trying determined to give every child in the orphanage a pair of hand knit socks for Christmas. This pair is out of Cascade 220 (you got it, I lost the label and don't remember the color). I only have a little left of each hank, so they took a lot of yarn. They were knit toe up by the magic loop method on size 4 (3.5 mm) addi turbos.

I did not have a pattern -- just did the Queen Kahuna method. These are 11.25 inches long. They are a little big on my model (Pops), but at least I can tell that I got the right proportions. I did a slip stitch heel for extra durability.
