Hi!! I just knit a pair of very nice... very LONG woolen socks. They turned out about a half inch too long on a mans size 10 foot, they are huge on me!  I was wondering if there was a safe way to shrink them and NOT felt them... I know you can't avoid a little bit of felting, but I would still like the stitches visible... They're for a gift and I would love  to not have to rip and start again, which is basically why I'm asking. I've already pulled them out three times...

Thanks in advance!!

So this first little thingey is called a Moebius scarf. It's a wonderful one-sided, one-edged shape that's fun to play with, easy to knit, and very very warm.

This hat was knit from the bottom up. The red edging is a stand-alone braided cable, with stitches for the green part of the hat picked up along one edge of it. I used the Kitchener stitch to join the two ends of the band. I love pom poms!

This is a Pineapple Hat! I made it for my best friend, and it's not technically complete, but the knitting part of it is done. I am still searching for some brown yarn to embroider v's on it for the little nubs of the pineapple. Once again, I love pom poms!
