These arrived in the mail yesterday, a birthday present from my sister, who is a truly-true knitter.
In this day and age of machine-made everything, a pair of hand-made, custom-fit socks are truly a luxury. I'm feeling so pampered. Thanks, Sarah!
"...hand-knitted socks are completely different from store-bought socks. Hand-knitted socks don't stretch. You just knit them the same size as your feet, and then put your feet into them. Putting on a store-bought sock is like stuffing your foot into an elastic bandage; to put on a hand-knitted sock is to slip your foot into a garment crafted just for it."
