End of Summer


The end of summer is almost here and that means its time to start thinking about the Holidays and a handmade Christmas. My first order of business is always hand-knitted socks. My family cant get enough of them, they start eyeing them up before they are even hot off the needles.


Luckily socks are an easy take along project that you can pick up & put down quickly, doesnt take up alot of room, and isnt too hot even in the humid dog days of summer. I still use the four double pointed needles via the top down method. I have tried other methods, some of which I agree are faster to knit & more efficient use of yarn. Call me old fashioned, but I still always seem to go back to the ol' tried & true method.
