Hi Crisy

Thanks for your lovely comments i get my yarn from Germany but may be you can do a search for a outlet that sells yarn it called Online which with the name does make it a little harder but i know that the lady does ship worldwide i get it from ebay here a link to one of her sales which is a new range

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4001875360...

here is a link to her eBay shop scroll down for it in English

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/strickstudio-knoller/Sockenwolle-SOCK-YARN...

 

You see for 800 grms shipping is 14.50 euro worldwide not sure if that would be good or bad for you

well i sure you do some great socks what ever yarn you use & if you wait for us to get our summer you have a nice long summer & autumn yet lol well take care

Hugs Janice

Hi Barbi

If you can do a knit stitch & a purl stitch then you can do these, as i do the rib which is 1x1 then rest is knit i use double pointed needles & that the worst part learning how to use those if you not used them before, once you done a few rows it easier.

You can inbox me then i can send you a easy pattern if you give me your e-mail addy

Hugs janice

Janice, I was just on YouTube today looking at demonstrations on cable knitting and I was wishing how I knew someone who could help me.  I haven't knitted much but I do understand the difference between knit and purl.  I love your socks!!!  Are those a project that requires circular needles?  See how many questions I have just waiting to be clarified/explained!!!  I'd love to "talk".

WOW...You are sooooo talented.  I'm sure if I knitting I'd probably poke my eye out.  As it is now with quilting, I'm forever poking my fingers.  Love your socks....I too wish you lived closer...it would be fun to have a down home friendly knitting class.  You knit and I'll fix the treats.

Janice! socks are very stylish. I think (from working in high school classes 5yrs ago) wearing 2 different socks indicated (silently) anger of wearer over life in general or primitive way to show dislike of school, system of gov or anger over circumstances of life. For me wearing 2 dif color socks, it was the state of my always unfinished laundry & if I was angry over something, students asked, but it was none of their business. Therefore your socks are unique, without lots of loose ends to work in, very beautiful in colors & a special way to care for feet. Always comfy. Love from Betty

I have been wanting and wanting to knit socks, but I haven't tried yet except for the cuffs!  I got that far and stopped! these are wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration.
