up until last winter
i owned three pairs of socks
barefoot and fancy free
these three pairs of socks
i have had for 18 years
i kid you not
I DID NOT WEAR THEM
WANT THEM
quiet frankly
I DID NOT LIKE THEM
the only time these socks would see any light of day
or come out to play
is when we would
head for the snow and or mountains
other than that
that stayed
nicely tucked away
well all of those feeling changed quite quickly
in the winter days that followed
i kept getting colder and colder
and felt it right down to my bones
in the months after my little hospital adventure last year
"one" of the things i learned
is that i have been blessed with
RAYNAUD'S
to sum it up quite quickly
THE.COLDER.IT.GETS
THE.COLDER.I.GET
so this past year i have been knitting and crocheting
for the sake of my fingers and toes
I WEAR SOCKS AND SLIPPERS
yes indeedy
had i ever thought it could be
NO NOT AT ALL POSSIBLE
but i do have to say
I
DO
I
DO
like wearing socks and slippers this day

I'm finding that the older I get, the colder I get. I always enjoyed the cold air; now it is becoming torture. Perhaps it is time to move to a warmer climate.

Beautiful colors and I love warm sockies. Keeping warm is an art form as I age. If my feet aren't warm, I'm cold all over.
Wonderful that you knit and crochet.
Happy day.
((hugs))
My hippy feet cry when covered, but alas, they must be in the Winter as well. My most favorite part of Spring ..... unleashing the hounds in the grass!
Keep those tootsies warm!
Something I really love about you is that when life turns you on a different leg of your journey you embrace it in your own unique and beautiful way - such as creating your own lovely slippers instead of buying plain white socks - love this <3
Hi Brandi,
Thank you so much for the comments and encouragement :-)
It is great to be back , and I hope my presence on blogspot becomes more prominent once the shop is up and running... It really was a couple year long process, working up the courage to open up an actual online business for all of my viewers/blog followers... New things are always a bit scary!
Hope you make your way back , once we are open for business! :-)

how nice that you can make your own if you want...i bet the ones you create are even warmer.
have a wonderful day...summer will be here before we know it:)
a good reason to wear sockies...and beautiful work I might add. I personally like them, though I only wear socks when I have to! I've heard silk keeps you warm...hum?
many hugs,
Lisa
And I love knitting them! I have had cold hands and feet all my life, so bundling up was a priority, not an option.
Once I learned the 2 circular needle method of knitting socks (both at once!) I have had a ball! And there are sooooo many good yarns to choose from. <:-)
My stash runneth over.
And the days following chemo, I get to KNIT!
Stay warm!!!
XXOO~~

Ever the creative soul, you have found a way to turn a simple task into a beautiful endeavor :)
These are fairylicious!
I love the socks!!! As you know, I am totally in love with yarn. I don't knit all year round but when it hits me, I am obsessed. Since the summer, I've made 5 pairs of socks/slippers and now I'm on to wrist warmers! Happy Saturday!
