Earlier this week was a drag. I had stomach cramps, headaches, stuffy nose, and on and on. Miserable. Could I dare to hope that's it for the season? I'm still a little run down and the drippy nose isn't quite gone yet, but much better. Onwards and upwards.
I have finished another pair of socks. Another Christmas gift off the list.
These were knit with our own Suffolk wool. The brown was naturally dyed with black walnuts and the blue with acid dyes. It's my basic sock pattern with a little Fair Isle chart thrown in at the top for interest.
Two skeins (but I didn't use all of the blue), 3.25 mm needles, 56 stitches. Man size. Huge.
Given my recent bout of illness and the pace of school these days, plain socks are about all I can manage in the evenings. Lace and cables are on hold for a little while!
Lovely socks. My hubby has the same illness. Hmmm - when did you two get together.
