One pair of beautiful, colorful, warmly knit socks is one of the Christmas presents I've received for Christmas. Sometimes a pair of moccasins just doesn't do it on a cold evening and this will be wonderful for relaxing without a fire.
In case this tickles your crafting fancy, we have a number of books on sock making. Try one or more of these to warm the cockles of your feet.
2-at-a-Time Socks: The secret of Knitting Two at Once on One Circular Needle by Melissa Morgan-Oakes
New Pathways for Sock Knitters by Cat Bordhi
Crocheted Socks! 16 Fun-to-Stitch Patterns by Janet Rehfeldt
And more.
If you have extra socks that are multiplying in the back of your drawer, and you want to do something fun with them, you could try Sock Crafts by Jeri Dayle.
You can also put "sock crafts" into Google (or other search engine) and find hundreds of ideas. I saw the ever popular Rockford sock monkey made into a Buddha type figure, a sock giraffe, a sock rabbit, a sock Spiderman, and, of course, sock puppets.
Hope you enjoy making them and playing with them.
Happy crafting.
