I read a post a few minutes ago about spinning cotton balls into yarn for sock heels. Never ever done that. I don't spin yarn, but I do love it.

These are the socks I'm working on now. They are for DS's GF. I wish I had taken a few pics of the gajillion socks I knitted around Christmas. They were much prettier, hand dyed and self striping yarns. This is elCheapo ala Michaels.

Any other knitters?
 
I wish I could knit. I've tried to learn how several times, and even got some books on the subject including "Learning to knit for Dummies" LOL I am too dumb even for that book because I just cannot figure it out for the life of me...

But I do crochet!! :)
 
Those are wonderful! I do knit but just can't seem to get the hang of it for socks.....sweaters, skirts, dish cloths, scarves - those I can do - socks - not so much.... :oops:

So I'm really impressed especially when I see them done as well as what you're doing! Love them!
 
Those are beautiful, Deda!!!

I could never get the knack of knitting.

Thanks, Ladies! See there is more to me than soap... :lol:
 
Those are beautiful socks! Happy, happy feet! You've got a good even tension to your knitting. I look forward to the day when I have enough time, patience and stamina to get back into a few spinning and knitting projects.

Years ago when I belonged to a handspinners guild, there was a woman who would carry her drop spindle and knitting needles everywhere with her. Any time she had to wait -- even like 2 minutes in a grocery store line -- she would pull her current project from her pocket and work. She spun and knitted something like 35 pairs of socks in a single year using nothing but her "wasted in line" time! Somehow I'm not quite so focused. In my world, waiting in line is an excuse to zone out. 8)
