Will narrowing the sock leg around the ankle help, or does that make it too difficult for your husband to get over the foot?Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-42477693023548693492013-04-12T19:07:54.758+01:002013-04-12T19:07:54.758+01:00Love the Zauberball socks!

Interesting to read your sock posts - I couldn't agree more, sock yarns are so lovely and surprising, and if socks are to be my carry-along, rounds while cooking dinner or visiting, category - then a simple pattern is all I want, will save the interesting stitches for sweaters, shawls and scarves, where they'll be seen. My own solution for thin ankles is ribbing up the leg, not just for the cuff. So interested to see your Zauberball socks and know that I must expect fraternal and not identical twinship - enjoying my first pair in this yarn so far. Please know that your blog gives me far more pleasure than my infrequent comments would indicate - will be a more social blog reader after I retire, not for more than a year hence. <br />- Beth in TorontoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-68224823609599268192013-04-12T13:51:41.685+01:002013-04-12T13:51:41.685+01:00Was the idea of the ad campaign that Mrs. Marshall...Was the idea of the ad campaign that Mrs. Marshall Ney had used something besides wool? It must be. I think the advent of the fake fibers was a sad day. I find acrylic to be too hot to wear. Wool is always perfect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581612215378945075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-54780032119396273212013-04-12T12:40:25.359+01:002013-04-12T12:40:25.359+01:00When I was a child, I was born in 1950, we lived n...When I was a child, I was born in 1950, we lived next door to a woman who was a chemist for Tennessee Eastman.<br /><br />When they developed new fibers they would send them to be woven at a place in the same town ( the textile industry was still going in the southern US in those days). Then our neighbor would bring some of the fabric to my mother to sew up a garment for testing. I remember Kodel polyester especially because our neighbor bought so much fabric that my mother made a jumper for me, an American jumper-a sleeveless overdress. It was dark brown. I was at least 10 maybe older. That would make it about 1960 or 61. I had to delete and edit-sorry.Theresa Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561062155625437881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-66405769696868559172013-04-12T12:38:52.835+01:002013-04-12T12:38:52.835+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Theresa Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561062155625437881noreply@blogger.com
