Yulle, the cutie pictured in the last post, brought these socks to me from Chile where they were hand knit. You can see there's a seam up the side and the ribbing at the top is so interesting. They did k1p1 to the bottom of the band THEN knit the knit/pearl stitches together but knit 2 stitches out of them so there's the same number of stitches. It makes a nice little lacey effect. I would show a close up but the camera batteries died ... I LOVE the llamas.

Hey Betty,
I just saw your comment on my blog regarding wooly socks. Sorry for the lack of picture - I've been having a crazy month! If you look in my archives for the month of Sept. there are two sock pictures. And I should have some more sock pictures up this weekend. Thanks for your comment.
