Sweet! Sorry I've been missing in action commenting on all your recent amazing work. Always know that I am in the background cheering you on and appreciating all that you share. Love the Bartering idea! Maybe someday we can exchange "stuff"!
Aren't they the best?! I have a pair that a Swedish grandma made for me when I lived there. I never really appreciated them until recently when I learned about the love that went into making them. What a treat for you! I have bought some yarn to make some for myself. Now I just need to learn how! Great job Mama Urchin.
These look great! I just got given another pair of socks knitted by a friend! It's true that nothing feels quite so great on your feet - apart from perhaps the warm water of the Mediterranean lapping round your toes!
I recently taught myself to knit and then listed the links I used to help me along the way. For those interested, check them out at http://suzyqsparkle.blogspot.com/2009/01/knitting-links.html
I *love* my hand-knit pair and NEED to make some more!
Great socks. About the only time I knit socks is when I'm traveling to visit my kids that are scattered all over the country. I find it's hard to get the second one finished--too much of the same thing over and over. I think I might try knitting both at the same time next time;) BTW, I used the beanie pattern you referenced a few weeks back. WOW do they ever work up fast. As long as it's still snowing here I'll keep working on the beanies--maybe more socks come Spring;)
Great job, Mama Urchin! Those look great. Nothing beats knit socks. I have a few pairs and love them so much, that I decided to teach myself. Just doing baby socks for now though. Great swap!
ooooh. i want to learn to knit socks so badly...these look divine.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Isn't bartering fun. One of these days I'll get a pair made (that I'm willing to wear).
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea.

Those socks are great! What a fun swap!!!
ReplyDeleteHand knit socks are the best! My mom has worn holes in the few pairs I made her, and still won't give them up! Great swap.

ReplyDeletehooray for the swaps!!! great idea!
ReplyDeleteNICE swap.
ReplyDeletei saw those.....and LOVED the colorway!!!
Warm and comfy indeed. Trading, swapping, bartering - all very traditional and fits right in with quilting and hand crafts. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I'd say that was a good swap...I love my knitted socks.
ReplyDeleteSo, I see someone beat me to it. I am so glad you have a pair now. But one pair is not enough, never enough...
ReplyDeleteI just got my how-to-knit-socks book in the mail yesterday. I've always wanted a pair of hand-knit socks, so I thought I'd finally do it my self.
ReplyDeleteI love yours, and I hope you enjoy them for a long time.

Handknit socks are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh. My feet can only imagine something so beautiful covering them.
ReplyDeleteHello! I just found your blog and I'm loving it so far. I really love that you give tutorials, thank you in advance. :)
ReplyDeletePS. Love the socks!
Great job, Mama Urchin! Those look great. Nothing beats knit socks. I have a few pairs and love them so much, that I decided to teach myself. Just doing baby socks for now though. Great swap!
ReplyDeleteyay! This sounds like a very rewarding swap. Enjoy the new socks!
