Review on Vintage Winter Warm Cozy Crew Socks for Women - 5 Pairs Thick Knit Wool Socks, Ideal Gifts by Reid Rickerson

I really, really wanted to like these socks but they ended up sending them back. Pros: Really cute. Colors and patterns are correct. They're made from a wool blend, so not particularly thick, but thick enough to keep your feet warm on a day of errands or at school. Everyone I showed them to was very commendable. Cons: One of the socks had a broken seam. As a knitter, I think I could fix it. For those wondering what this means, a skipped stitch creates a hole that resolves as you move down the stitch column. Second, the toe seam was sewn with an elastic thread and not knitted, which was visible on some pairs of stitches. socks. This alone is not enough for me to return these socks but this is a quality item. For the price of these socks, that particular numbness could be overcome. However, since the seam was stitched, my daughter didn't want to feel the stitching on her toes (sort of like a princess and a pea, although you'd think she'd outgrown that by now). Third, I really, really wanted these socks. , but the pattern continues to the bottom of the sock. The way these socks are knit, the yarn is carried over into the next part of the pattern, which is not uncommon for something like a sweater or even a sock leg. However, this leaves a lot of loose yarn that rubs against the sole of the foot. It's fine if you don't plan on actually carrying weight on your legs for most of the day, but if you run, it will annoy you at the end of the day (my personal princess and pea, which only gets worse when you get older). I ended up sending these socks back due to a major design flaw. If they made the foot one color and fully tied I would keep them and enjoy. Two stars because they are so cute, otherwise there would only be one star. If they reconsidered the design flaw I would probably buy.
