I love to knit socks for a few reasons. Self patterning yarn keeps a simple knit interesting. They're portable and I love the fine yarn and needles. I have one more pair of socks on the go, and I just finished off this pair. I think I need a change though, so I've found a book with some mitten patterns I'd like to try. I'm so excited by the idea! Oh, my lovely neighbor, who is ten years old happened to be visiting and was kind enough to be my model. Thank you S!
I thought I would add this particular picture of me, since this is a post about socks and mittens. What am I wearing on my hands? I suspect there were several pairs of wet mittens already drying over the heating vent that day.
