I got some micro-fiber lion brand yarn at JoAnn's this past Tuesday.
They are having a sale 2 for 4 dollars.
I brought 2 skeins of yellow.

I am knitting the softest socks from that yarn.
I am using the 4 double pointed needles.
You must be carefull with this yarn though as it has a tendecy to split

I have this book I am using Learn to Knit Socks by American Scool of Needlework. # 1273 I am making Basic Sock on page 8

I got the pattern Book at JoAnn's
I knit the cuff till it reaches 3 inches I like a bit of more cuff.
But, this would be a nice summer sock just like it reads.
It was an easy pattern to understand too. Pinkroses

Great, Sheila! Show us a photo, if you can! I'm addicted to sock knitting too. I just finished a pair this week and am already dreaming of the next pair...even though I have four other projects on the needles right now!

Thanks for sharing!!
