Greetings in cold December, Friends


There's nothing like a pair of socks for knitting

that goes round and round. Some call it Zen knitting or mindless knitting.


I like to think of it as comfort knitting that I can pick up and not be thinking much, yet still see the stitches accumulate.


I'm going to cast on a December sock project using Crazy Zauberball since that's my favorite sock yarn. It holds up well in the laundry and is warm inside the boots that I wear.


Over Thanksgiving, I was knitting hats. In these weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year's, I'll do socks.


We are running a 40% discount on all of our sock yarn for the entire month of December.


If you don't knit socks, scroll down and find the Sockhead Slouch Hat. We've featured it before and think it's a great project for that single skein of sock yarn that is calling your name. It's mostly round and round knitting. It's a perfect project for conversation and carry-along knitting over the holidays.


Thanks again for reading our emails and for your orders.


I'm going to throw in a photo of my favorite geranium at the end of this email. It's a brilliant cerise pink color. When I have my morning coffee in the sunroom, the geraniums speak summer even though the outside is decidedly winter here in Michigan.


Happy knitting and crocheting,


Wanda
