Sock’er!

A funny thing happened at the craft store this week.

While browsing around for beads and DPNs, I took a stroll through the yarn aisles: my mother has recently started making hats on the loom, so I was keeping an eye out for a nice, thick chenille.

What I found was sock yarn. Yes, knitting aficionados, you read that right. Not a nice worsted that could be socks, but actual, honest-to-God, in some cases self-striping sock yarn. It looks like the revolution has reached A.C. Moore and friends–and at around $4 a skein, some of this yarn looks pretty good.

I didn’t even know Red Heart made sock yarn!
