Though a snow week seems like the perfect time to knit, there were several days when I got no knitting done - since the power was off in the house, temps inside dropped into the 40s. That made for some some cold hands! But now that it's warmer, I'm back to knitting on these socks, with yarn from #havewoolwewilltravel⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitters⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sockknittingaddict #knittersofinstagram⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sockknittinglove #sockknittingrocks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #handknitsocks #wipitgood⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sockknitting #handknitsocksarethebest⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #indieyarnstasher

It will take more wearing and probably another pair of socks! ⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ #thecozyknitter #yarnadvent⠀⠀⠀ #sockknitting #adventknitting⠀⠀⠀ #knittedsocks #sockknittersofinstagram⠀⠀⠀ #tckadvent2020 #handknitsocks⠀⠀⠀ #indieyarnstasher # yarnloversofinstagram⠀⠀⠀ #selfstripingyarn #selfstriping⠀⠀⠀ #yarnlove #sockknitters⠀#thecrazysocklady⠀⠀ #sockknitersofig #sockknittingaddict⠀⠀⠀ #afterthoughtheel #afterthoughtheelsocks⠀⠀ #yarnaddiction
