a very good friend of mine has called me a sock maniac, and I am not offended, no indeed, I am enchanted by the title.






meet sock one. Oh how happy I am.


sock two will be ready for a photo shoot very soon!

  4. Lovely socks! I think socks are the ideal project - nice and portable, plus more importantly the end is in sight even as you cast on!

  7. I am very impressed and I love the yarn. The sock looks soooo neat. I have made two pairs and have started a third but ...... can't say I am addicted and still get in a muddle. What pattern are you using? Well done!

  16. I disagree with the Coffee Lady - one sock as beautiful as that would make a very lovely tiny pouch handbag, or a stylish puppet. The wool is absolutely lovely

  17. You knit socks?
    I am practically speechless (commentless?!).
    And such gorgeous colours - I hope you're not going to hide them in your wellies.

  18. When I was in nursing school I used to make tons of socks...I loved making and wearing them...and forgot. I could try to make some again you made me think about it ;)

  19. They are lovely- I must try socks! I made the mistake of teaching myself to knit by making an earth stripe wrap out of Rowan kidsilk haze- it is taking forever!! I'm not giving up until it's finished though... the wool cost a small fortune! Socks for my next project though!
