@Flobear they are lovely they are still own my list but maybe not yet.
@Starryfish i like wuss wool it is lovely to knit with and seems to wash well too.
I am now sockless again, I took my current stash of socks to my NDN yesterday, her two daughters where there, they are great dog walkers and loved them so I ended up giving them all away. So now I can start knitting again, all of the collection I had where knitted while I was trying different techniques so I am happy they have found new homes.
I love to keep a pair of socks on the needles even when I am knitting other things as I can knit away with having to think about it too much.
