Scap socks for myself



Unfortunately, the yellow yarn is a local NZ yarn but it is really terrible for socks. Weak and not enough twist and it's very rough. See my Ravelry page

Shelley's Socks

Our new neightbour wears double layer of socks... hopefully these pure wool ones might be good for him. Check out my Ravelry page

Socks for Laura's Mother

Laura and Actor have been cycling (pushbike) around the world and have been many places including the silk route.

We found a place for Laura to stay (with a friend in Wellington)  for a couple of months whilst she wrote more of her travel book.

When Aitor's family came to visit they brought with them a gift basket for me from Laura's mother. When Laura paid us her final visit she and I selected a pair of socks for her mother and Aitor's family took them to Madrid for her before head back to Basque country.

Cool how travelling broadens your experience of the world....

A pair for Nepal

I have young friends and I have also met some older women and I think warm hand knitted socks might be a special treat for those cold winter nights in the Himalyas. See my Ravelry page for details
