My favourite socks were ones I knitted with handspun, but I'm afraid I accidentally scooped them up in the wrong wash one time and they are now more like boots! They aren't wasted though - I wear them over a pair of cotton socks and they very comfortable for treadling in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-24084185830553130642007-11-13T04:11:00.000+00:002007-11-13T04:11:00.000+00:00I love that book!

I was very happy with the result. I've been thinking about spinning wool for a jumper using the same technique, only with longer sections of each colour in the yarn because of it being a larger garment.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-43622623998298330952007-11-12T17:46:00.000+00:002007-11-12T17:46:00.000+00:00I got a strange comment once that seemed to have b...I got a strange comment once that seemed to have been from an automated source, at least based on my Google research.
