Tofutsies Vine Lace
The first time I ever knit with Southwest Trading Company’s Tofutsies I really fell in love. Since then I’ve worn the socks many times, and they have worn up much better than all the rest of my handknit socks. I’ve come to the conclusion that merino is not for socks despite its prevalence among sock yarns, but Tofutsies sure is.
These socks are very simple with a vine lace pattern and a traditional heel flap. This is my favorite way to knit a sock, and my only regret about this sock is that the stitch pattern doesn’t fit with the yarn. You can’t really see what’s going on there because the colors are too busy. I continued to knit it anyway because I didn’t feel like ripping back, but maybe some day I’ll knit this cuff with a more suited color.
I really can’t wait until both pairs of these socks are finished. If they’re anything like my first pair of Tofutsies socks I will probably end up falling in love with them just as much.
