Charlotte's sock.... ok, I was going to keep these but I've decided to give them to a co-worker. Early in December, I commented to a co-worker that I liked her sweater. The next thing I knew, it was sitting on my desk. I told her I didn't compliment her because I wanted her to GIVE it to me! She said, no, I'm tired of it, I want you to have it. !!! Turns out it's a very expensive sweater in practically new condition. So, how do you thank someone for something like that? I've decided hand-knit socks are going to have to do. I'll have to get back to you on the yarn. The name of it escapes me at the moment. I know it has a German name. It's superwash wool made in Italy. I hope she likes them.
