to photograph your own feet? It is as bad as trying to lick your elbows! anyhoo - here are a pair of the worlds most fantastic socks for your delight and delectation! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e81/Janicehodge/IMG_2618.jpg or indeed - http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e81/Janicehodge/IMG_2620.jpg The yarn is 80% wool and self patterning - it comes in stripes and dots on the ball and you just knit and it makes these fab patterns all by itself. It comes free with the easiest sock pattern known to human kind and these took me about 2-3 evenings each. I am in love! Gues what my friends are getting for Christmas - no - gloves made of the same wool - fantastic. love and kisses, Jan

Beautiful! Wish I could knit something other than a scarf. No organs, though.

The socks are great altho I'm allergic to wool I still like them! I've seen that self-patterning yarn-some really nice things are made with it! You did great photographing your feet. The visions it conjured up before looking at the picture were great! LOL

These are the socks I just crocheted this summer. I love them. I am sad I don't knit. Also sad I can't get very many cool sock yarns here. Jan if you ever want to do a trade. I am up for it. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h14/osted/purse/socks.jpg Sher P.S I agree it is hard to photograph your own feet. My website

Sher, great socks - I have never thought you could crochet socks - all I can manage are granny squares and that really doesn't fit inthe sock bracket. http://www.sockyarn.co.uk/ is the fab company that ships worldwide - look at their yarn and drool.... love and kisses, Jan
