I think this was one of two pair I made with Tofutsies yarn. I do have more skeins of Tofutsies, but, clearly, I'm going to have to reinforce the toes next time. Wondering what other knitters use to reinforce toes [and heels?].
If I hadn't just placed an order with Knit Picks, I'd be sorely tempted to order even more yarn.
I don't know if it's worth the effort to try to re-knit these toes with left over yarn.
Undoubtedly, part of the reason these wore out so quickly was because when I first began knitting socks, I knew nothing about negative ease.
Ah, well.
Happy quiltmaking...and knitting...and merry making....

I don't knit so it amazes me that people knit socks. Knit Picks is dangerous to my wallet. I have ordered yarn and other weaving supplies from them.
I have a very large stash of the Wooly Nylon spools that are used in sergers. If I can remember to do it, I will add it as another strand of yarn for the heels and toes. It is strong but lightweight. Try it. It works.
