It doesn’t really matter what the calendar says, to me, the first day of fall is always the day I put on a pair of socks – the good people of Tarrytown will attest to my barefooted-ness.  This is the day!  I wish I could say I put on a pair of gorgeous hand knitted ones, but alas, I give them all away.

What I do make for myself, however, is hand warmers.  Lots and lots of them.  People ask if my fingers get cold and they don’t actually, they keep my fingers surprisingly warm.  I love to drive with them,  type with them and more.

One reason I have so many is that it’s a great way for me to try out all the fabulous yarns.  My current favorite is Baby Suri from Misti Alpaca.  Mere words cannot describe….all I can say is you’ve got to feel this luscious fiber to believe it!

Now…to knit a pair of socks….
