Pattern: My basic sock pattern*

Yarn: OnLine Supersocke 100 with aloe vera, jojoba and Vitamin E, colorway 1210 (green/tan); 75% superwash woole, 25% Polyamid

Needle Size: US 1

It is my philosophy to always have a sock in progress. They are so portable, you can just grab & go at a moment's notice. I always have something to do when I have a sock on the needles.

This is my first time using the aloe vera/jojoba/vitamin E-infused sock yarn. It's not as soft on my hands as I imagined. But I have high hopes that it's going to feel pretty yummy on the feet. My understanding is that the infused elements are meant to last for up to 100 washings.

* A note about sock patterns: There are loads of great books out there filled with sock patterns and lessons on how to construct the sock pattern that will fit your foot. For example, here is a great web page that shows you step-by-step how to make a sock and provides links to sock patterns and sock yarn.

I say, jump in with both feet! Just remember, you always have to make the second sock...
