Yarn & Chocolate...
Look what I got in the mail! Jeannine was nice enough to respond when I put out the call for yarn to finish the toes of the beautiful possum socks I am making for my husband. I wanted some nice wool but it had to be washable, since that's the reason I bought the possum yarn in the first place! She rummaged through her stash and came up with this lovely dark gray Muskoka, 100% merino wool -- and mailed it all the way from the Netherlands! Being the nice girl that she is, she also sent delicious dark chocolate. (When my husband saw that, he decided the time I spend blogging isn't wasted after all!)
Here are the socks that lack toes. I am notorious for trying to save on the heating bill by moving the thermostat "just one degree lower" in the winter, so I figured the least I could do was make my husband some nice socks to keep warm around the house. They are knitted with worsted weight yarn so they go super fast -- I should have a finished product soon!
I think they will be much warmer with toes!
