Gray is a neutral, balanced color. It is a cool, conservative color. Gray carries with it some of the strengh and mystery of black. It is a sophisticated color and all shades of gray can be good background colors. --from the meaning of the color gray

I am beginning to enjoy the color of gray. It seems to be found in subtle places. Vintage cubby holes of shelves & drawers. The siding on a country house. And socks.

Socks? You know my obsession with socks.....
.
.....and now with the ecstatic discovery of Patons Stretch Sock Yarn, I have finally crocheted a sock that easily slips onto the foot. Yes, I did say -- 'easily'. No tugging. No pretending to be one of Cinderella's step-sisters trying to squish a big foot into a teeny, tiny shoe. This went on so effortlessly.
..
And this licorice colored yarn is so, so yummy. And here is the key ----> the yarn stretches. And that is huge here in my little crochet world.

It means that when using this Origami Turkish sock pattern; my new favorite crunch stitch crocheted in the back loop only; a size E hook and this miracle-of-all-sock-yarn; I can actually crochet a sock that is wearable.

Oh, the possibilities & oh, the yarn choices!

Oh, Dawn! That colour is yummy. I don't usually go for grey but that one kinda grabs you! I don't crocket, but I knit and that makes one super sock, regardless of method.
Nice socks! The colour reminds me winter in England. See you. Now, what are you going to do? A pair of spring socks??
I love those socks. I'm not a knitter but I can crochet - I've just never thought to look for a pattern. I've only crocheted simple things though. How hard is this pattern to follow? blessings, marlene
