Size one needles? Girl, you are a better woman than I. That just sounds like no fun. But those socks are very nice. I might have to break down, or learn to knit tighter.

Posted by: Laurie~Green-Eyed Grrl at January 10, 2005 12:58 AM

Hi Froggy, love your socks!!! You've inspired me to get on the 'sock scene' again. I think has been 12 years ago since I made my last socks. But now I'm ready for it again =)
