Cranky Socks

This wonderful yarn from Knitterly Things has waited long enough. While I do enjoy a good bargain, I also like to support small business when I can. Both of these were part of the Knitterly Things Fall Sock Club. If you have the ability I highly recommend joining the club at least once. You can learn more by checking out the Vesper Sock Yarn Club 2022 page. I am seriously considering signing up for the next one. 
I love this look down into the sock. 
All that's left is to knit the toes closed with the Kitchener Stitch. I love that the kits comes with a coordinating color for the heels and toes. Such great results. Do you have a favorite small business that you love to support?
