At the beginning of the year I got a craving for a new pair of boots and nearly got some for my birthday. When I saw these last week for sale on Amazon.com for $30 it was settled and they were ordered pronto. I don’t often buy shoes but it sure seems to be a shoe month around here. My last pair of boots is about 20 years old and I still love them but they don’t fit as my feet are a whole size larger now. These have some sort of plastic sole but the rest is nice leather so still quite a bargain for $30. I had thought I’d need some new winter shoes and these should fill the bill nicely. Now I’ve just got to break them in a little.

There is some yarn wound for socks. I’m still working on the second orange twist but progress is slow with so much else going on. The TT socks will be for an exchange so those will get cast on and begun this week. It’s a worsted yarn so they should be a quick knit.
