I have started on my next list of friends who I will knit socks for. I have had to go out side my family now since every one here has a corner on the market when it comes to socks. Everyone that is except myself and my husband who seem to get more joy out of seeing everyone else get a pair. My thirteen year old daughter informed me that she was fine on socks just days before Christmas. I was hart broken. My eight year old son however cheered me up by proclaiming that he would never have enough.
What is wonderful is that I have been given free range on the colors, and I have already picked an alpaca sports weight for the creations. I am getting my supplies for this from a great store called Jimmy Beans Wool. I have ordered twice from them but so far their service and shipping have been just great. My muse for these socks comes from a fingerless glove that I started knitting from a great pattern found in one of the current knitting mags. I will convert this and add some of my own preferences.
