Second Sock LAL

January 2008: Plushy Slipper Socks

These are the house socks I knitted as part of the Loom-a-long on Ravelry.com. I didn't have the recommended yarn so I used some acyrlic yarn I had in my stash. These were knitted using the blue (24peg) Knifty Knitter loom.

Since the Knifty Knitter looms are the easiest to get most the Loom-a-long (LAL for short*) projects use them for the patterns. This means they all have large gauges and you have to use bulky yarn. I find for some projects this means the items come out too big or loose. I love the KK looms for simple hats, blankets and scarves but no so much for detailed projects. So the socks? Way too big.

*For those who don't know the LAL group is dedicated to teaching looming techniques.
