The Crafty Bits: Guest Crafter

I haven't been too crafty lately, blame it on all the books I've been reading. The scads, stacks and mounds of books I've been sorting, stacking, flipping through, browsing, reading or rereading. And even though I have been picking away at the same cross-stitch project for years, I still don't have it anywhere near done. So in lieu of my own craft goods I bring you a pair of AMAZING knit socks I received from my fellow prairie girl, Mariah. (They were a gift of love and support during that time earlier this year that I promised I wouldn't talk about ever again.) And while I would love to give you some kind of awe inspiring down low on them...I can't, I have some how managed to lose the yarn information...but what I can tell you is that they are:

1) Pretty. Oh, so pretty. Lovely plumy-tan tones with warm yellows.

2) A super soft wool that has been treated with chamomile or some other soothing, calming, glorious thing to make them dreamy and wonderful to wear. I hear the yarn wasn't half bad to work with either.

And while I was told these would make good camping/hiking socks...they are wonderful for keeping toes warm at the ice box that is my office, around the house, or when you're curled up in your new book chair reading. Not that I'd have any experience with that.

Left Sock...there is a right one too, but apparently I got the
jitters when I tried taking a picture of both my feet.

(Also check out that sexy linoleum...god I hate my floors.)
