Knitting Cotton Socks

Anyone know a good website to buy mesh hockey socks? Grew up and place ice hockey in the northeast. Now I am in Texas and want to start playing again... only problem is i lost my old socks. There is a lack of hockey equipment stores in Texas and all i can find are heavy cotton/knit socks... Just want the light weight mesh type hockey socks i have lost!

GTN Industries is a vertically integrated Fibre' to Fashion manufacturing company producing world class, 100 % Cotton, Knitted Lifestyle ...

I'm planning on knitting some socks and the yarn I have is 100% cotton.... Are there any adjustments I should make to the pattern to account for shrinking?

Not usually pre shrunk. You could put the skein in a pillow case and wash and dry and it sill shrink what is going to. FYI!

Price: $20.00 $15.00

Combed cotton for breathable comfort
Fits shoe size 7-12
Reinforced heel and toe

The yarn is pink, yellow and orange. I'm not sure what to make. I bought it intending to make socks, but I couldn't find a pattern for worsted weight socks that doesn't come out humongous.
Anyway, Anyone have any good patterns? I have like four little skeins of this stuff and I don't know what to make. Suggestions please?

Did you try this pattern: http://www.kraemeryarns.com/patterns/pdf s/ttw_anklesocks.pdf ? The socks come out normal on size 5 needles.

How about a tiny top? Summer's coming! Here's a backless top that would look great at the beach: http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/Rib-Knitted %20Backless%20Top.htm Or a more covered-up one: http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTasan a.html.

Im looking for a pair of all white cable-knit if you can find them but it can be rib-knit too over the knee socks. Im not looking for lycra or nylon socks, they can be cashmere, cotton, cotton blend/ cotton wool blend. I want a true over the knee sock not a knee sock that stretches to be otk. Is there any websites where I can find them?

Also Im wondering where i can find a pair of YSL charcoal gray knee socks I think they are ribbed, and have the logo on the top of the sock?



this is for my girl friend

Walmart or target

I bought a sock cat off of etsy.com which was made from a regular pair of cotton women's ankle socks. I'd love to have a pattern so I could make them myself. I'm not smart enough to just look at it and figure out the measurements and pieces to cut. This has nothing to do with knitting. It's just two ankle socks like you'd buy at Walmart and some polyfil. Anyone have a pattern or can point me in the right direction?

I've never seen a sock cat, but have you tried the AllCrafts website? I think they allow questions like yours, people looking for patterns, etc. as well as offering patterns for crafts. I've made sock snowmen, but I'd like the cat pattern myself!
