New Silk Stockings

I was rather amazed at paying $22.00 for a single skein of yarn. These are the latest socks, finished this afternoon, made with hand-dyed silk & nylon yarn that was hand dyed by a woman in Vermont. As I gasp when I think that I paid that much for one skein of yarn, I realize that I enjoyed every minute that I was working with this beautiful and silky yarn. It was a delight. I visioned myself going back into the yarn shop to get more. Visioning works!

Labor Day Eve is as good a time as any to finish a pair of beautiful socks while watching a show by Ken Burns called "Mark Twain". And to top off the evening, there is a peach pie in the oven.

I hope you are having as good a time as I am.
