toe-less socks
These are some hot socks for summer. I am really really loving these. Free online pattern available at spun magazine.
Spun magazine is a wonderful online fibre mag with product reviews and patterns. They are continually on the look for new patterns - check out their submission guidelines.
From the current issue I really loved the deconstructed sweater into a scarf ‘how to’, and there is a pattern for knitted bibs (for those of you asking about them).
Perusing their archives (just one year old) I not only came across the wonderful summer socks, but these great fluted sleeve additions and a very nice capelet.

I LOVE the idea of adding tight wrist sections (like the wrist part of long gloves) to the end of those fluted sleeve additions and wearing them stand-alone, with a fancy tanktop when heading out on the town. Like fancy armwarmers. :)

If you check out http://www.castadrift.blogspot.com you will see Jussi’s free pattern for a cool pair of Yoga socks - they are toe-less and heel-less (?) and super cool

I am digging those socks; I need a project to work on while on vacation. Thanks for letting us know about them!

Ugh! These belong in the “You knit what?!” site. Just my opinion!

Ew, I have to agree these are gross.

I only like the second one from the right. They kind of gross me out for some reason.

Love the capelet. But I have a thing about socks with individual toes - can’t bear the thought of them.

I like these. Australians must surely love any sock that can be worn with thongs/flipflops!

Fantasic! My boyfriend has some beloved “ninja shoes” that haven’t been worn too often because of sock problems and all the ones I’ve seen for sale at martial art stores are all made of nylon!
Yay for cotton socks!
