I can't imagine knitting a pair of socks a year personally, so an in awe at your skill Sian!<br />Black socks are practical, a good thing to have in your drawer. We all need these, but Spring is coming and it's good to look forward to brighter colours and longer days of sunlight. I can see how socks reflect on the mood and month. Look forward to seeing more of your makes through the year.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558786621283350776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-85011780098399451022016-01-26T21:09:49.334+00:002016-01-26T21:09:49.334+00:00What a good idea to do a pair a month.

I am currently knitting a sleeveless pullover for Hugh and I can only do about 10 rows an evening because of my tennis elbow (haven't got it at the moment, but don't want it coming back!).

You could start an online business selling your socks. I would buy some!

I like your friend Jo's idea of creating a blanket over a year to reflect her mood. I MUST learn to crochet at the very least. I read an article about a Mother that created (weaving I think) prayer blankets for each of her daughters when she found out she wasn't going to be present in body as her daughters grew up. The prayer blanket colours reflected the personalities of her daughters - such a lovely thought to be surrounded in their Mother's love so that she would be present when they prayed. Warm toes, warm hearts.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-63394257843583450082016-01-23T12:27:51.058+00:002016-01-23T12:27:51.058+00:00I always admire your sock posts.

Now I just need to make an appointment and get myself to the knit store to start. I'm sure I would enjoy sock making since I love all needlecrafts. I'd say, time is the biggest factor holding me back.
