Happy Sock Knitting

Tulip Sox for Carol

originally, these sox were designed for the

Sock of the Whenever Project
the original kit used Cotton Fine by Brown Sheep
and had an Afterthought Heel
they were the Feb 2003 KIT

Lori Konopka helped with the stitch pattern

and with designing the original sox

The pattern was adapted for the Sock-a-Manic

“From the Heart Swap” for Carol Stone.
