Remember I live in Florida. Brrrr. It's in the 40s outside. Brrrrr.

Now, on topic, I finished the Emu Superwash socks and will put them in the mail soon.





And I cast on new socks! Look at the gold specks in that brown Fortissima Colori Socka yarn! I will have rich looking feet!!

The other are Lorna's Laces in a colorway called "Aslan." Very pretty and pastel.

Gold is always nice!! Those are for me. The others are for a friend. I hope she likes them !!

I'm sure she'll love them. Is it a given to use 100% wool for all these socks? Are they itchy at all?

No, not a bit itchy. They're soft and snuggly. Little sweaters for your feet.

Wow! That gives me an idea. Maybe I should take up auto mechanics or canning next.

Honestly, each pair of socks is made better than the one before but the first weren't so great.

I am always learning new vocabulary here - 'colorway', 'stash' and now 'arbitrageur'. I can look at pretty socks and expand my mind at the same time.

BettySox! Yes! Schatzi is a genius!

I can't imagine Yulle being on anyone's bad side and Christina should feel free to write "colourway" here.

Arbitraguer means I'm a spy. I am knitting secret codes into the heels of the socks. The idea of canning them is ingeniou!

(It must be tough being so smart!)

Thank you for permitting me to use the extra 'u' next time, darling - it just feels so naked without it.
