fo: Twinkletoes socks

Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Wool; color: 29 – Raspberry. Someone told me once that two skeins would yield a pair of house socks, so I foolishly didn’t even think about yardage. Only 85 yards per skein—oops!
Fortunately, I had plenty of coordinating Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted in Tuscany left over from previous socks and was able to finish the toes.
In spite of the mishap and the aran weight of this yarn, these socks fit really well and are supremely comfortable.
I did a Russian join for the toe yarn this time. It was fun, and I recommend trying it!
I’m about out of heavier yarn for house socks now. I’ll probably try another brand that’s not superwash. I still have some thin sock yarn in the stash that needs knitting up, but I want to start a sweater soon, so the socks may not get cast on right away.
