Warm and Wooly


Another pair of suffolk socks.  If you have a chance to spin some of this fiber, I hope you will.  It is the most comfortable pair of socks I have ever worn and they are machine wash and wear!  Can't get any better than that!

Bill just wore out his pair of superwash wool socks  from last year so I am dyeing a few skeins of the suffolk to knit a new pair of socks for him.  He is going to be pleasantly surprised by the cushioniness of this yarn!
(Two skeins are plenty for a pair of socks for me but Bill wears size 15's and so the additional skein is more than needed!  Hmmmmmmm, maybe I should dye another for good measure!)

A warm thought for any who are chilly  this morning.........it is 76F out now, and climbing into the  80's.  Just wanted to share this with you!

  1. We're only one state away but much colder than you this time of year! I am happily wearing my "Grandma-socks"...

  2. If I ever retire my crockpot from cooking service, I know I'll be dying some yarn!

  3. 76 is the perfect temperature. (And just to enhance your enjoyment of your day, I'll tell you that it's 26 here with 6 inches of new snow and more on the way!)

    Great socks!!

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
