Sock porn

I promised a while back to share some of the images of the socks I've collected. FYI I try to find interesting 19th or early 20th century ones.

These are two of my favorites. I only have five, they aren't easy to find.
The entrelac ones are done out of a cotton thread with what looks like a crochet lace finish. The stripes look like a mercerized cotton, the leg was knitted on 2 needles and the heel and foot were done in the round. They have a knit lace trim.

So that is today's distraction. I haven't had time to get any work done. Between the mobs of people and the dripping from the upstairs bar this weekend has been driving me mad.

It should begin to calm down today. Everyone will be traveling home after the memorial day weekend.
