I really am going to stop making rice socks now that I've got a brand new one for myself. I usually get my swatches on quilting weight, but I got my Jinxed Rust Lion on the organic cotton knit. The organic cotton knit is wonderfully soft, but it shrinks vertically more than it shrinks horizontally after washing. After I filled the sock I made up with rice I realized it stretches even more horizontally, which is perfectly fine for a rice sock to do. I just think it's funny. This Elvis rice sock is one that I made by hand several years ago that is being displaced my my new sock.

As promised in my last post, here's another rice sock. This one is for my dad, and will probably be the end of the rice sock marathon.
