I have had these socks on my knitting list since the pattern appeared in the Winter 2003 issue of Interweave Knits. The pattern, Uptown Boot Socks by Jennifer L. Appleby, is also included in Favorite Socks
A. and I knit this pair from Garnstudio's Baby-ull 100% Merino. I love the mustard color. We used size 2 needles and 64 stitches.It is good that I enjoy knitting with the baby ull as I have a pillowcase full of it in my deep freezer. We won't mention that the ENTIRE freezer is full of wool or that I actually purchased the freezer when the yarn shop where I used to teach went out of business and B. suggested that I buy a 10 year supply of yarn while it was on sale! Since the freezer is to keep the yarn moth free I only store the animal fiber yarns there. The cotton and other yarns are stored in other areas of the house, like in old suitcases that are not in use...It does make it interesting when looking for a particular yarn and can't remember where I stored it. More often, I'll be looking for something else and I'll come across a stash of yarn I had forgotten about.
I know I am not alone. I bet you have yarn, fabric, beads, or some crafty supplies stored in strange places too. What creative storage ideas have you come up with?
