I have a couple on needles that I've never finished - got to the point of the heel and then lost interest.

It makes me want to give it a go when I come over here. But in my heart I know it would be a fail! But the paper crafting aspect is just as adorable.

I went to a wool mill - it was heaven sent! I saw every stage from unpacking fleeces to the spinning of finished wool. The only thing missing was the dying process, but it was fascinating to see washing, carding, spinning and the knitting. I bought a huge bag of half knitted pieces that were rejected, ready to felt or make into bags etc. I wish I had the patience to knit like you.... the socks look so cosy and original. Lucky those who get to wear them.
