Real women have ankles and human sized feet. The inspiration for this design, aside from the fabulous yarn, was to make a sock that fit my actual, adult feet. I HATE it when a hand knit sock puckers or pulls across the bridge of my foot. My feet aren’t shaped like tubes and my socks shouldn’t be either! With gussets added above the heel, instead of before it, my whole foot has room to breath. The blocked sock appears to have ankles, which makes sense, because so do your feet. These are a perfect vanilla sock for showing off hand dyed yarn. Lattes & Llamas Twinkle Toe Sets come with a 100 grams of hand-dyed Adventure Yarn and 20 grams sparkling Coffee Break Yarn that is just right for the heel and toe. The stripes on the cuff give them a sporty, quidditch vibe. These are great for two at a time socks, but work up just as easily individually. Once you’ve had the pleasure of socks that fit just right, you’ll never look back!
