Luckily there’s no sock police! You get to decide what you want to use. I find it really interesting how the same pattern can look so different depending on yarn choice.

Very nice…and even though it is colorful, it is tonal, which means the cables will show up nicely!

I went to a box store to look for an economical practice sock yarn but they didnt have anything so I was /totally/ justified in stopping in at the LYS To pick up these beauties:
Of course I forgot to confirm that I have the right needles!
Road trip!

Size 2. They are wood. I hope long enough. I have used zeros before so I’ve used smaller, but not much!

I don’t know about you, but I have to go down a needle size for socks…I think it is because I have skinny feet…I like them to fit tighter…
But, I am not making those for me, so, yeah, I better check to make sure I have the right needles as well! lol
