Title: ...wanna get socked? :)
Post by: Tarsier on February 08, 2021, 05:40:31 PM

I have way too much time on my hands nowadays.

So I decided that I want to knit a pair of woolen socks to somebody here.

If you are a person who appreciates handmade stuff and warm feet, say Oi!

If only one person says 'Oi!' = socks are yours. If more than one person likes to have their feet warm, I'll just draw the name out of a hat. I'll come at some point later this month to check the situation...

For me, woolen socks are just the best thing to wear at home, pretty much at any time of the year - when it gets warmer, you just remove the other items of clothing first  ::)

Please note:
- I have a very random collection of yarns. I'll ask your favourite colour and a colour you can't stand - if I don't have your fave-coloured yarn, I won't make socks with a puke-colour either :)

- making a pair of socks takes a considerable amount of work hours - during which I'll listen to lots of NMA = lots of good vibes knitted into the socks :)

- it's a gift - I will not ask any money for postage or anything else for that matter.

- I love you all!  :)

Truly a wonderful, special thing to do! Tarsier, you are awesome!
I'm just not the sock-loving type, but i bet your socks with nma vibes in it will do a great job for someone!

Mrs W. occasionally gets the urge to knit socks and has made me some great multicoloured merino wool ones - wonderfully warm at times like this, especially in bed!

I'm a bit late as I've been without internet for quite a while...  :)

GHOSTTRAIN, the one and only! :) My fingers are burning to get started with the socks! Please send me a personal message: measure your foot from the heel to the tip of your toes, and send me an address where I can send your socks when I'm done  :)
