A while ago, I sent some fiber to an Internet friend. She was new to spinning, and I just wanted to do a little enabling to help her build her fiber stash. Pay it forward, just like other spinners had done for me when I first started. Then, back in September, I got a squishy in the mail.
Aren't they fantastic? She did all the spinning on a drop spindle. A drop spindle! Then she knit this beautiful cable and lace pattern and sent the socks back to me. They've been keeping my feet and heart warm ever since. Thank you G-A-M!
Too bad they probably dont fit you. :p
ReplyDeleteI admit that even though I have a wheel now, I am still enamored of the spindles. Simplicity and function first.
You do beautiful fiber work and are a great inspiration to me, Annie!
Dont ever stop being you. :D

She what you started!??!? hee hee - and the enabling goes on and on and on. It was GAM's socks that first got me really into knitting - and then spinning!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, GAM on the spinning and knitting - and great job with the fiber enabling, Annie. You are BOTH inspirations to me! WIHH aka Susan
I love them. Great job GAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGAM did a fantastic job with some wonderful fibers. I have a pair of her sock too and they are my favorites Enjoy their warmth this winter Annie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what pattern that is, they really are lovely.
GAM,
ReplyDeleteThey fit just fine! There is enough stretch in them that they make it over my big feet. I wear them with sock liners and wash them out every couple of days before I go to bed and stick them in front of the stove. By morning they are dry and go right back on my feet.
