unlike my normal break that i take after christmas, where the yarn and needles go into hibernation until i am ready to begin stock-piling things in the summer, i have not yet stopped knitting! i have continued to make more purses and am on a major sock kick!
it is crazy how much people love the hand-knitted sock. i actually don't care for the way they feel, but i LOVE the joy it brings to my friends and family. it is also a fairly quick project. i can finish a pair in about two days, if i have a couple hours of knitting time each day.
one of my dear friends online, cheri, had made a comment about a pair of socks i made for louisa...she said she had always wanted hand knitted socks. well, duh... of course i had to make her some!!!! i sent them off to her, via another friend, and here was cheri's reaction:
dear katho--you will think I'm kidding, but I am seriously in love with these socks ::kisses socks::(hey don't judge me!) Now I need to know how much you charge because I am so going to want a few pair. ♥ you!!!
isn't that just the best reaction???? she also posted the picture of her feet in the socks that you see above. the result of her posting said picture is that i have had NUMEROUS requests for socks! i have spent some time researching what is the normal asking price and have now set my price for socks. I guess if it is acceptable by the askers, i'll be knitting socks for a while! :::grin:::
