My email address is.......xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Maybe you can also help me with another question I have. My DIL mentioned recently that she would like to have some wool socks and I told her I hadn't knitted socks by hand for many years but would give it a try. In the 60's I had a knitting machine (and still have that machine) on which I knitted socks for my husband. I could knit a pair of socks on my machine quicker than I could wash and (air) dry a pair.....which I could with the yarns of that period. My husband loved wearing 'my' socks! My DIL is in charge of a nursery/greenhouse and her feet always seem to be wet and she was thinking socks made of wool would wick the moisture away from her feet. Since she made her request I've knitted one pair using Patons Sock Yarn and a pair of tube socks with something I had in my stash which weren't wool but probably acrylic which I don't like for socks or much of anything else. I'm excited about
about getting back into knitting again and just today I ordered yarn from KnitPicks along with some long-cabled circular needles so I can knit two socks at a time. I love knitting with circular needes even for flat knitting. To say I'm pumped is an understatement!!!! Now if I can just keep one of my two cats from chewing on my yarn. The little Butt....but he's so cute I can't stay mad at him. ;-D
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your rreply. Dottie
