Socks, Socks, and more Socks

How are you all holding up?  The pandemic just does not seem to end.  I have been silent during the last year.  I don't know about you, but I have hard a hard time tapping into the creative juices.  I have piddled around with stuff, still weaving, a little spinning... but for the most part I have navigated towards comfort.

As a coping mechanism, I found myself knitting socks.  I first learned to knit with socks - it was the one thing I wanted to make.  It was a great lesson and after one pair, I never wanted to make another.

Then my mom was diagnosed with cancer.  She was going to start treatments and I wanted to make her something that would make her happy.  I knitted her a pair of colorful and happy socks in her favorite colors.  They were the "**** cancer" socks.  They were very awful - Haha! I had never done colorwork and I did not float the colors well.  They were cute but not comfortable.  Thus ending the foray into socks for a second time.

Fast forward to last fall.  She was going through treatments again and having a very hard time with the chemo.  She was in and out of the hospital and life was full un uncertainty.  I started making socks again.  I found the fish lips heel and toe up socks were my jam.  I was making a pair each week.  It was the only thing that I could control and there was so much comfort in the routine on socks.

I knitted socks for gifts, for my mom, for others at the cancer center, for family, for the kids.  I could not stop, until I did.  At some point last spring, I was done with socks.  I did not need that distraction anymore and I moved past the obsession.  

I am grateful for yarn and fiber to help get through difficult times.  I have tools I need and yarn plays a big role in my sanity!

What about you? How are you coping with the stresses and changes that have come with our "new normal"?  What do you do for comfort?

  • Last month I got scammed.
    I was deceived and misled into giving almost $219,000, my whole life savings, to a fraudulent investment organization. I was left with so much debts. Early last month I saw a promotion post about a Crypto investment and I got interested and decided to give it a try. I deposited $138,000 at first, but the company ultimately advised me to add more money to my initial investment in order to keep it from getting locked. They still persisted in pressuring me to increase my investment even after I had added more money. I decided to ask a friend for help after growing suspicious. He warned me that I was being tricked. I was left devastated. I made the decision to look for means for recovering my lost money. I’ve read a lot about trustworthy hackers that assist scam victims in getting their money back. I decided to contact Expressline recovery, who was the most recommended hacker on my search list. Using the mail expresslinerecovery@gmail.com, I was able to get in touch with expressline recovery . I gave them all the information they needed, and to my amazement, they were able to retrieve some of the cryptocurrency I had lost.
