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?

Nothing is impossible if you truly believe you can achieve it. I have been trying to expand my wine business in my hometown, White Plains. For the past eight years, I had played the lottery in my spare time, but on one blessed day, I came across an article about Priest Alaska’s lottery-winning spell. I contacted Priest Alaska to see if it would work, and after agreeing to his terms and conditions for the work, he used his magical powers on my behalf; he provided the numbers I needed to play, and I followed his instructions. At the store, I discovered that I had won a $123 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain, but I looked again and saw that it was real. My life has taken an extraordinary turn going from nothing to prosperity and I have come to realize that life has a spiritual dimension; with Priest Alaska’s spell, winning the lottery is truly possible. Priest Alaska’s contact details are as follows: email alaskaspellcaster44@gmail. com or his website https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
