Sock-o-mania

Every year close to Christmas and New Year I have a special mood to knit socks. Any other time of year I hate this. Do you like to knit socks? :)

Happy Socksmas and New socks Year to all!

I've made 2 pairs for me and one pair for husband. There are just simple stockinette stitch toe-up socks to show funny striped yarn.
The socks for me are made with twin stitch short rows (Fish Lips Kiss Heel developed by Sox Therapist).
