Saxony in handspun

365.095 4/5/2010

These handspun beauties arrived in my mailbox last week. Even though I set up the swap matches I’d forgotten that Rose had me. I had been admiring these from day one and I think they will be the warmest socks I own- perfect for my “snow boots” which are plain rain boots with a fleece liner at the bottom, not at all warm. The cable down the front is really lovely and the seed stitch on the back of the sock sets it off nicely. They were spun from corriedale/mohair and I suspect they will last me for ages so I’ll have many winters with warm feet to remind me of dear friends. Thanks Rose for such a wonderful gift that I’ll treasure for a long time to come.
