Ok, NOW we get the sock thing. We just tried our first pair - and no, we aren't done with it yet. But with Artyarns Ultramerino 4, I could care less - it's so much fun to knit with! This is just a dream - soft and smooth, really easy to knit, no snagging or sneaking around stitches, no pulling apart - and the colors. My little boy can't wait for his first pair. But I'm enjoying this so much, and I've got to try every single color! He might be in college before I've managed to finish a pair!
