If you have any friends who knit, they might be happy to trade a pair for something sewn. I could never go back to store-bought socks for warmth and comfort...

Take all the time you need. Your friends around the world will wait for you.<br /><br /> Love your solution to the floppy sock situation! Not many of us can boast custom cobble work (are you the shoemaker, or an elf?) My feet, too, were blocks of ice when I was young. A serious threat of punishment to my husband was to put my feet on his bare legs. Age and the addition of poundage now keeps me at furnace level most of the time.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999430801003441981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-15108315693856102112013-05-17T12:38:25.850-04:002013-05-17T12:38:25.850-04:00Sock comfort - good timing for you :-).
