What breaks in a moment may take years to mend.
[Swedish Proverb]
Sock mending is almost a forgotten skill, but hand-knit socks deserve mending. The socks in the photo above have heels that can be raveled and re-knit if necessary. They are for another class I’m facilitating at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. It is half a day (Sunday, 1:00-4:00 pm) so I have a small project planned that gives the knitter detailed experience making a replaceable or peasant heel. I have printed copies of the August sock (watermelon) from my CD book for each participant as well.
Knitting, writing and other joys 
Your site makes me want to take up knitting..which I have never done or aspired to before!
