I once upon a time, knit one sock and it has remained a single. I'll make baby booties, but I draw the line at anything larger. Although, I do adore certain sock yarns and have made many a lovely shawlette from said yarns!

Unfortunately, during those periods of obsession, I have a tendency to buy waaaaaay too much sock yarn, which I then end up giving away during the lean times.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-1805868202788862582010-02-23T12:25:15.635-05:002010-02-23T12:25:15.635-05:00I really like them!
