Let me tell you, they are truly addictive, LOL !!!
First thing I do when coming home is to change into lounge wear and put on my socks !
Wearing boots ? I need my real socks.
They are easy to wash, too. I throw mine into the wash (although some wool sock shouldn't be machine washed, most can). While some wool is dryer safe, I simply throw them from the washing machine onto my clothes rack. They are air dried by morning and last much longer that way. They can look and feel a bit funny when wet, once dry, back to the way they were.
They fit and look great too.
I don't know how my mom can make so many. They really are quite a bit of work and my hands ache when working to much on them.
It is almost like "zen" though. You just go into a zone, your thoughts just start to float. Its keeping one busy while relaxing at the same time. Great for busy minds and busy people that can't sit still, LOL, like me.
