Every so often I get tempted to try making socks - they sound so wonderful

I have a great pattern I can send you, very easy to adjust if need be,
so you make socks that are a perfect fit. The thing I like about
them is that when you finish the sock you have two bits of yarn to
weave in and that's it. There are great sock yarns available now,
fully machine washable and drier proof.

I wonder if the grand-daughters would like them with their jeans during
winter. I had thought they looked a lot of fun; the first time I saw the
stripy sock yarn was when a Canadian friend (not Sheena) was knitting
them at a RV rally. Jane sometimes works in a knitting shop, and they
looked such great fun to make.

And to make it even more tempting, I have a gift cert to the new local yarn
store...
Yes, I'll take that pattern link please.

Cheryl,
Hate to be a pest, but would you pass on the pattern link? Seems like I
need to have something portable with me lately, and I'm almost done the
little Bucilla cross stitch Pears I have. I have its companion, Lemons, and
another Pears, but I think I'm a little bored with it for now.
