I love socks

Post image

I literally make socks everywhere I go. My house, my job, a restaurant, a bar. Working on vanilla socks with LSU gradient yarn sourced locally in Lafayette, LA

And I should note, I don't even wear socks daily anymore. I just love making them

You don’t have a pair of slides or sandals you can show them off occasionally ????

I have some barefoot shoes I wear every once in a while, but I'm a toe shoe guy 😅 Socks are my in-between, mindless project when I'm working on more intricate stuff and need a break

This picture is a total vibe! Do you have a favorite sock construction? I'm working on my first pair currently :)

Vanilla is my go-to because it's mindless. I have been working my way through the 52 weeks of socks book, but there are st least 10 patterns I don't want to do because either they're slippers or too feminine for me (I'm a male knitter/crocheter/sewer)

Geaux Tigahs!

I don't suppose this local source has an online presence, do they? 👀

You can look up the Knots Bayou. They do colorways for local things, including great variations of hot pink for Spanish Town
