No tasty pictures of our Thanksgiving feast, even though it was pretty delicious and no awesome pictures of Russ and my recent trips to
Hearst Castle or
Arroyo Grande or
Morro Bay, even though they were wonderful. Just a picture of some socks that I knit as part of my little knitting group's KAL. My friends are all very competent knitters, but none of them had knit socks before, so we decided that
ribbed socks would be the perfect way for them to start out. We took a little trip about a month ago to buy our yarn at
Classy Knits in downtown Bakersfield. Her sock yarn selection was a little small, which is understandable, considering that it has only recently starting get even a little chilly here in Central California. We all found something we liked though, pace ped varigate sock yarn from
The Alpaca Yarn Company. It's beautiful yarn and has a separate little surprise in each hank--solid colored yarn for the heels and toes. It's not cheap, like $24 a skein, but foot comfort is important, after all.
