Finished Socks



I finally finished my Christmas socks! I just have to wrap them up and put them under the tree. I always wash them first and put them in the dryer for about 5 minutes.


As soon as I take them out of the dryer, I insert one sock blocker into each sock.


It gives the socks great form. I bought these blockers years ago and have used them with every pair of socks I've knit. They're not too expensive but a great tool to use.


Speaking of under the tree, my two kitties love sitting there! They stare at the lights and hit the ornaments every once in awhile! I think they're waiting for Santa.

    1. I think socks are easier than they look. Once you get the heel, they're so easy! I haven't put any gifts under the tree for fear they will be attacked! I think cats are always on the Naughty List! Haha! Enjoy the holiday!
