Socks for Christmas

I think socks are always an appropriate gift. Today I gave a pair to the person who organizes the reading program where I volunteer. They are from a purple yarn that was given to me years ago by a friend who got the yarn when her grandmother died. I hesitated to give it as I wasn't sure how the yarn would hold up. But the color and the pattern seemed so appropriate for Slyvia. I made the socks from a pattern in Nancy Bush's book Knitting on the Road. The pattern is called Traveler's stockings.




I have also completed a pair made of Opal Lollipop yarn. I am going to give these to Cecy, my Spanish teacher. I think they will suit her very well.
