Just completed knitting a pair of the Braided Cable socks for a woman who wanted them some time ago. I love the pattern and hope that she will still want the socks. If not I will just post them on the Etsy site and will increase my sock stock in my shop. When I do custom I don't put any socks on my site and my site currently has less items than I want. I think it would be good if I had 20 pairs  of socks in the shop at all times but it has been difficult to get the time to knit. I think I should really make a consorted effort to knit more. My next project is the Clog Sock with the heart on the heel. I have noticed that it has gotten a lot of hits lately on the Etsy site and think it might be time to do another pair....hummmmmm I do have a beautiful tangerine color.....

Gray Braided Cable and seed Stitch Sock
This has been a real busy month...had a birthday...my daughter and two grandsons surprised me with a visit from Seattle (really blew me over) and caught a cold. Hadn't seen my daughter for a year so there was alot of catching up to do. Had orders for socks backed up but managed to now only have two orders to fill. Would be great to finish them so I can knit some socks that I have been thinking about for a while!



My daughter is a spinner...she came with her Turkish Spinner (drop spindle). That was really neat and think it might be something that I would like to try to do. My husband scanned the tool and thought he might be able to make one for me...that would be great as my daughter left me a couple of ozs. of fiber to spin and would like to do it. I found that it is a great portable way to spin on the go. And just got another order for the Twisted Cable Mitts in black!...guess I'll be knitting custom still for a while.
