FO - My socks are done!!
 

My first socks on two circs. I love this method and I love these socks! The toes got a little pointy, but I will adjust that next time. I'm afraid learning this has created a monster.. I n e e d more handknit socks! :teehee:

:inlove: :cheering: they look nice - and cozy! great job! :woohoo:

Gorgeous! I love to knit socks! Wish there was more yarn for us "wool allergy" people.

Thanks!

Do you actually have an allergy..as in you get hives and swell up? Or are you just sensitive to it and find it itchy? I can't wear most wool clothing, even merino wool. Its just too itchy for me. However, wool socks are fine. I have no problem at all with them. The skin on feet is a LOT less sensitive.

Hi Jan,
I actually get hives and get red and itchy. The arches of my feet are particularly sensitive. I am very weird. However; my stepson and wife gave me a cashmere top last Christmas and I wore it for the first time yesterday and did OK. Wouldn't you know!!!!!!!!!! It was quite tolerable. I use Fixation for my socks.
