It’s definitely a fact that I don’t have nearly enough heavier weight socks in my collection. Why have I been toiling away on teeny tiny needles knitting thousands of itsy bitsy stitches when I could have been much more reasonable and amassed a collection of warm and cozy dk weight socks? Lesson learnt. These socks are perfect for those chilly early mornings when you you need a little help in making the transition from cozy bed to real life.
