Socks for our guests

During Christmas I suddenly realized that most of our guest-socks had done duty for (too) many years and that it now was time to do something about that. So ... I have been knitting socks since Christmas.

4 pairs all in all. These are a type of socks that I learned to knit when I was very young. In Sweden they are called Raggsockor and are used in boots (or indoors) for warmth during winter. Knitting these as a child was how I learned to manage double-pins (my favourites today).

During last autumn I knitted mittens in twined knitting (6 pairs). I have to say that these socks were quick knits compared to twined knitting.
