I do hope you're feeling better now x<br /><br />Popping in here really is like having coffee with a chum and a jolly good natter, with the bonus that there's knitting ... a lot of the friends I actually get to meet for coffee don't have a clue about knitting. Your socks look so snug.<br /><br />I used to teach in a prison too, just for a little bit, I wonder if I met your Mum!Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-57726556965543174772012-05-25T22:35:07.165+01:002012-05-25T22:35:07.165+01:00Hello again, I was the anonymous reader from Liber...Hello again, I was the anonymous reader from Libertys (I didn't mean to come up as anonymous, I didnt see how to put my name in!).

I think I need Suzie in my life too! You are wonder woman. I think you and Becca are the only two women who amaze me with just how much you pack in. I'm in awe, and once again I want to be you.

I was so busy ogling the pictures of all that lovely wool on the shelves, it took me a while to actually work my way down through your fab post. For a country with so many flippin' sheep in it - our wool choices seem so much more limited than you have in the UK - and really expensive. I found some Cashmerino here for $15 a tiny ball - eeeek. Anyhoo - back to those socks .... did I mention that I am totally in love with them!!! I hope you're feeling better soon hon - take care of yourself won't you. We've all been hit with the lurgy too so I'm looking forward to getting the small folk in bed so I can sleep.<br /><br />Have a fab week hon,<br />Leah<br />xxxxLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245743010825956078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-50442546158389487932012-05-22T01:21:02.183+01:002012-05-22T01:21:02.183+01:00Ohh, are you feeling a bit better today......hope ...Ohh, are you feeling a bit better today......hope so, nothing worse than feeling 'off' and still having to get around and look after kids.

She sounds like a nightmare - That Lady, not your mum!<br /><br />Socks are one thing I really would like to learn to knit, but as my knitting skills are virtually non existent I'd like to try a simple crochet pair first. I've actually got an old pattern, swiped from my mum's stash, for lacy knitted tights which I really really really want to make. Perhaps I should just pull my finger out and learn a new skill!<br /><br />BTW I don't think I would have noticed the ladder up the back of the socks if you hadn't pointed it out. They look pretty fabulous to me.<br /><br />xXx HelenSweet Seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688866517471969410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-14428588192944787612012-05-21T21:46:50.888+01:002012-05-21T21:46:50.888+01:00Gorgeous socks.
