After the schmozzle that is a school day morning around here I picked up the breakfast dishes, feed the dogs and wandered downt he hall to put a couple of things away in Katie's room. And what did I see lying in a heap in the middle of her floor? Her new socks, of course. Turns out that they were "itchy." Just my luck that my daughter inherited her narrow flat feet from me and her Auntie Susan's uber sensitive feet. I made her put them on for the picture, but it looks like I am going to have to give them a serious soak in hair conditioner. 
Darn. Knitting socks for Katie is so simple and quick that they are good for a easy sense of accomplishment. They are done in Kroy Socks, 55605 Tutti Frutti Jacquard, by the way.

That is too bad that the socks are too itchie - my first pair were not itchie, I can wear them, but they just aren't as soft and lovely as the socks I've knit from the "Essential" yarn I've gotten from KnitPicks!
Cute socks, though!
Soaking in conditioner?!?! Does that work? I live in a house full of sensitive skin. I will have to try it.
The conditioner seems to work pretty good. I started using it on a recommendation from yarnie sister Susan.
This colorway looks almost exactly like my first pair of socks, which I knit from Magic Stripes (Lion Brand) back in 2006. That yarn was very soft, and has worn quite well. Good tip about the conditioner!
