Switching gears here a bit to show a picture of a pair of socks I just completed for the Prayer Shawl Ministry I belong to. We knit items for families in need for Christmas and work at it all year. I love making socks!
I guess the whole process is intriguing. Starting out on three needles, turning the heel, decreasing to the toe, and having a completed sock there when you are all done. These particular socks were down in Rowan cotton (sport weight). An expensive yarn that was donated to our group. I'm not sure I really like working with cotton; it stretches a bit too much, but I was pleased with the result.

They are adorable! Have you ever thought about joining one of the sock communitees online? I belong to http://sockamonthkal5.blogspot.com/ . There are lovely socks every month and it might be another good way to get your beautiful wool out there for new people to see.
Hi Deb. I checked out that site; the socks are incredible. I have thought about joining a sock group, but I just don't have the time. However, I bookmarked the site, just in case!
