I used slip stitch in the construction of these socks and I love the way they look and feel! I used black beans to dye the yarn.

These are lovely. I was thinking about making some socks. Were these difficult to crochet?

I loved making these socks. They were a challenge to figure out, but I love a challenge! I plan on writing up a pattern for these (worsted weight wool), and also a version that uses sock yarn... sometime - another challenge!

Those socks are great! and you made up your own design? wow

I'm impressed that you dye your own yarn.

Hi Paula, I would be glad to share my method for dyeing with black beans if you are interested, also, I shared a very basic tutorial on natural dyeing in general on the Tips and Tricks page.

Keep bugging me about the pattern because I keep putting it off! I think I need a weekly kick in the butt until I sit down and do it!! :)
