Little boys who love to dress as Frodo need Hobbit Feet, right? One day while I was driving it occured to me that I could knit him some Hobbit Feet with some of that new-fangled "eyelash" yarn for the furry part. So on my next trip to Michael’s (lowest common denominator yarns, but oh well at least it’s close to home) I got a skein of Lion Brand "Wool-Ease" worsted-weight 80% acrylic/ 20% wool yarn in a sort of pinkish-tannish color and a skein of Lion Brand "Fun Fur" eyelash yarn in chocolate brown, 100% polyester. I knit the socks in the normal way until I had turned the heel and decreased away the extra stitches. Then I put the top-foot stitches (half the total) on a needle and knit back and forth on them, incorporating the eyelash yarn for the furry foot part. It didn’t work to simply hold the eyelash yarn together with the worsted -- all the fur ended up on the inside of the fabric! I ended up inventing a strange sort of alternating yarn moss stitch, working loosely and carrying the eyelash yarn across the FRONT of the fabric at all times, and the worsted across the BACK. That made a nice, stretchy, furry fabric. Then I picked up the bottom-foot stitches and knit them back and forth, joining with the edges of the foot-top. When I reached toe- length, I knit in the round again and made a regular toe. Henry loves them and wore them all day. The eyelash yarn crushes down so they can be worn as regular socks, too :)
