    Re-knitting WPG socks

    A while back I commented that the OD socks I ordered from WPG had come in pretty loose and a couple of sizes too large. So LOML proceeded to unravel them from the toe back to the ankle and reknitted the foot to fit. She also added a harder wool yarn to the heel and foot area so the sock will wear much longer.

    I'm posting this just to let you know it can be done and if any knitters wish to do this Wife has a pattern page to let the knitter follow along
