My first pair of socks and it only took THREE to get the pair. Though I did hear from one lovely soul who told me it took her FIVE socks to get a pair.... now that is patience. These were finished in February 2005 and they are modeled in front of my Viking Husqvarna Rose sewing machine. My first love but obviously not my last when I found knitting... and then there is spinning oh so much to do and so little time to devout to it.
