I’ve been knit­ting a lot to build up my stock for sell­ing on Etsy and at Beste­mors in Mystick Vil­lage this com­ing win­ter sea­son. In between items specif­i­cally made for sale, I’ve been doing per­sonal projects as well. I delib­er­ately cre­ated a project for myself to keep my mind occu­pied while I was recov­er­ing from knee surgery. I knit socks for friends of ours, one for each mem­ber of the fam­ily. I started with the hearts pair last Novem­ber right after the surgery. The orange skull socks were made sec­ond, fol­lowed by the dia­mond pat­terned ones. The white skull socks were finally fin­ished about a month ago. I’m so glad I did it. Our friends have happy, warm feet and the knit­ting got me through a very dif­fi­cult time. Now I need to knit wacky socks for the three of us!
