I'm busy using up little 20 g skeins using the Tinsel sock pattern and want to try putting in the garter edge heels with them. You saying how things can be subbed into others of your patterns really is timely this morning. Thanks for all you do Kay to encourage us along!

Have you seen the beautiful wooden frame a husband made his wife for displaying her socks. He said the yarns and the time invested makes the socks works of art. The wooden frame is wood slats, that can be expanded later, that creates individual boxes for each pair of folded socks. Simply gorgeous. Alas I cannot locate the post now.
